Energy-Efficient Optimization of AODV Routing Protocol for High-Density MANETs using Adaptive Control Packet Mechanism
The proposed Energy-Efficient Adaptive On-Demand Distance Vector protocol to reduce extra Route Request (RREQ) packets based on local node density demonstrates that reducing control packets is an effective solution for high-density MANET environments to maintain network stability.
