Abstract

Networking Technology as changed the saying “necessity is the mother of invention” to “Comfort is the mother of invention” as it took the mankind to another level of the sophistication. It has evolved rapidly over the past few years that a communication with a simple two-way pager to being able to converse from one edge of the planet to the other edge through devices that has the property of moving. Such wireless technology includes the wireless devices like laptops, tablets, mobile phones and routers etc., and information technology equipment integration. The assemblage of wireless self-organizing mobile devices forms a mobile ad hoc network (MANET)as it doesn’t deprive any infrastructure. MANET has several real-time applications. Devices in the MANET are energy constrained as they work on limited battery power. Saving energy is our big concern. An investigation discloses that the information, communications and technology (ICT) industry adds about 2% of global CO2releases. Green is a simple way to live in harmony with the Mother Nature confronting the radiation. Minimization of energy consumption results in increased operational lifetime of the whole network. An attempt has been made implement green Landmark routing protocol (LANMAR)in MANETs by using the concept called fuzzy logic in EXata simulator/Emulator and MATLAB. To measure the performance of the green LANMAR, the proposed methodology uses seven metrics: throughput, Control overhead, number of control packets, energy consumption in transmit_mode, receive_mode, idle_mode and total energy consumption over different scales of network size. The proposed green LANMAR called Fuzzy-LANMAR routing protocol performs comparatively better.
