The substantial energy utilization in MANETs, primarily driven by node mobility and reliance on limited-capacity batteries, poses a significant obstacle. This phenomenon exerts a dual impact on both node performance and the overall operational longevity of the network. Ad-hoc routing protocols incorporate methodologies that prioritize energy efficiency, underscoring the criticality of adopting routing frameworks that minimize energy expenditure to extend the network's operational lifespan. This research endeavors to employ energy-efficient routing techniques with the aim of augmenting the efficiency of data transmission, mitigating energy dissipation, and fostering network sustainability in MANETs. The contributions of this work lie in advancing the ongoing exploration of energy-efficient routing techniques, ultimately advocating for networks that exhibit enhanced robustness and operational efficiency. © 2023 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBattery-dependent nodesEnergy-efficient strategiesMANETsNetwork sustainabilityrouting protocolsConference Object2328
