Energy Efficient Multicasting Using Genetic Algorithm

In wireless communication power feeding is essential problem. The nodes contributing in the network are powered by limited battery resources and the battery reduction can imply network failure. While establishing exact and capable paths is an main proposal problem in MANET. The problem of network exhausting batteries which dividers the entire network can be banned by considering the energy consumption in MANET. Energy-aware multicast communication in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is a vital issue due to the power constraint of battery in each mobile node. In this paper, proposed an energy efficient multicast routing problem for MANET that catches a path for each node-pair connecting the source node and the destination set such that any node in each path does not run out of its power during the transmission of packets. The problem of multicast routing is NP-complete. This problem resolved by Genetic Algorithm mechanism. It presents an improved solution for the multi-constrained multicast routing problem. The computational power of the proposed GA-based multicast routing is demonstrated through simulations.
