CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

7.1 CONCLUSION

An adaptive Hello interval to reduce battery drain through practical suppression of

unnecessary Hello messaging. Based on the event interval of a node,the Hello interval can be
enlarged without reduced detectability of a broken link, which decreases network overhead and
hidden energy consumption .The simulation results showed that our mechanism works better
than periodic hello message scheme with high throughput and reduced energy consumption.

7.2 FUTURE WORK

In future it is planned to generalize the proposed method by improving the result

to 100%. As a part of this future work, this can be implemented in ns-2 and compare the results
taking various metrics like Packet Delivery Ratio and Throughput by varying different network
parameters.
