I have come across one of your articles having energy analysis of various protocols. In my final stage of the research work on “Trust-based approach against packet dropping attacks for AODV-based MANETS”, I have started to perform energy analysis of the proposed routing protocol. I am using energy model of NS-2.34 during simulations. Kindly provide your guidance on the following issues:
1. I have used promiscuous mode (with tap method) in the protocol for monitoring neighbors’ behavior. Most of the research papers describe that promiscuous mode uses a good amount of energy. However, when I tested AODV protocol, I got exactly the same average energy consumption with and without promiscuous mode. How can it be possible? Whether we need to modify the energy model in NS-2 to include energy consumed by promiscuous mode?
2. How to measure energy consumed by HELLO packets as we have enabled HELLO beacons for our approach?
3. The simulation results in most of the papers show that for a routing protocol, if mobility (speed) of nodes increases, energy consumption also increases. But, in my results I found no increase in energy consumption at higher speeds (4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 meters/sec).
Dear Rutvij H. Jhaveri,
extract the trace files with grep command (for extraction you should have better knowledge about NS-2 trace analysis )
ex ) [root@localhost ~]# grep "HELLO" filename.dat >
This line will extract the entire hello packet along with energy consumed by the packet
for request packet
ex ) [root@localhost ~]# grep "REQUEST" filename.dat >
This line will extract the entire request packet along with energy consumed by the packet
