Mobile ad hoc networks are energy-constrained
networks, nodes in these networks are usually mobile and they
are typically implemented in the specific areas where electrical
power source is not available. Thus, the operations of these nodes
must only rely on battery power or other exhaustible sources
of energy. In addition, most of power in each node is required
for communication with other nodes or gateway connected to
the wired networks, this usually includes transmission of data
and control overhead generated by ad hoc routing protocols to
obtain the best paths to destination nodes/devices. Thus, to study
the energy consumption of each routing protocol is one of the
major concerns. In this work, number of simulation scenarios
are constructed to study the energy consumption in each node
using various routing protocols standardized by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) MANET working Group which
are OLSR (RFC 3626), DSR (RFC 4728) and AODV (RFC 3561).
