In the energy consumption and performance evaluation of protocols for an ad hoc network, the protocols should be tested under realistic conditions. This chapter is a research in which mobile ad hoc networks are described and some routing protocols explained. During simulation, different results were given by changing the selected parameters. Firstly we have a technical look at these types of protocols and their specifications [Jayakumar. G and Gopinath. G, 2007].

network is an unstable network formed dynamically by a collection of wireless mobile nodes without the use of an existing network substructure [Chlamtac et al, 2003]. Such networks back up calculations at any time and in any place, and their structures can change automatically [Norouzi. A and Ustundag B. B, 2011]. In such networks, each mobile host acts as a router. For this reason, peer-to-peer communication as well as peer-to-remote

Figure 2 shows an example of a MANET. This type of network has been comprised of different kinds of mobile devices such as PDAs, smart signals and mobile hosts. In MANETs, routing is a complex problem and the reason for this is mobility of routes. However, links may change frequently and this subject refers to the fact that communication links should be updated continually and their messages should be sent frequently; hence

There are special devices in different forms, but one of their common specifications is that they use battery energy, and this energy is limited. Wireless transmission, collision, resubmission and conductive radio waves are all effective in energy consumption. As a result, there is strong need for the presence of protocols which use energy efficiently and effectively as well as technology for better management of energy [Norouzi. A and

communication is possible in this kind of network [Camp et al, 2002].
