Proposing Qos efficiency and energy efficiency routing protocols for mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is a challenging task. Different routing protocols based on different features have been proposed to the IETE. Performance of many of these routing protocols have been evaluated focusing on metrics such as delay, routing overhead & packet delivery ratio.A Performance comparison of Destination Sequence Vector Routing(DSDV) and Ad hoc on demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) Routing protocols with respect to energy consumption, routing energy consumption and QoS are explained thoroughly. A Simulation model using network simulator2 (NS2) with different mobility & traffic models are used for study the energy consumption of the network. Finally , comparison of results of the AODV&DSDV based on energy consumption & QoS is presented.
