ad-hoc网络的原始路由协议是“耗电”的，因此会消耗节点中有限的电池电量。因此，ad-hoc网络中的路由非常受能量限制。持续的能量消耗也会降低电池的性能。如果允许电池间歇性地处于空闲状态，则由于充电恢复效应，电池可以恢复部分丢失的电量，从而延长电池寿命。在本文中，我们使用自然发生的蚂蚁觅食行为的思想（Dorigo和Stuetzle， 2004）[1]，并基于这些思想，我们设计了一个能量感知路由协议，该协议不仅在路由数据包时考虑了功耗的影响，而且利用了蚂蚁群的多路径传输特性，从而增加了节点的电池寿命。通过仿真验证了该协议相对于部分现有协议的有效性。据观察，在网络中消耗的能量，在EAAR的情况下，每个数据包的能量比MMBCR少60%，而在移动场景中，数据包丢失仅为AODV的12%左右。
Primitive routing protocols for ad-hoc networks are “power hungry” and can therefore consume considerable amount of the limited amount of battery power resident in the nodes. Thus, routing in ad-hoc networks is very much energy-constrained. Continuous drainage of energy degrades battery performance as well. If a battery is allowed to intermittently remain in an idle state, it recovers some of its lost charge due to the charge recovery effect, which, in turn, results in prolonged battery life. In this paper, we use the ideas of naturally occurring ants’ foraging behavior (Dorigo and Stuetzle, 2004) [1] and based on those ideas, we design an energy-aware routing protocol, which not only incorporates the effect of power consumption in routing a packet, but also exploits the multi-path transmission properties of ant swarms and, hence, increases the battery life of a node. The efficiency of the protocol with respect to some of the existing ones has been established through simulations. It has been observed that the energy consumed in the network, the energy per packet in the case of EAAR are 60% less compared to MMBCR and the packets lost is only around 12% of what we have in AODV, in mobility scenarios.
