Wireless networking has seen a wide area of interest from consumers in personal communication. As the demand of any media increases the demand of its efficiency rises. Due to limited battery life of mobile terminals the energy efficiency may be majorly taken into consideration. MANET’s are generally battery powered device thus we need to figure out how to use the power of battery efficiently. In this paper we will discuss about few energy-efficient routing protocols which will help in reducing power consumption as MANET is typically based on battery power.

Keywords: MANET, energy-efficiency, wireless networking, routing, AODV etc.
