The energy consumption of the wireless nodes is one of the major issues in wireless ad hoc networks. Energy saving is an important objective of various routing protocol algorithms. In this paper energy consumption by the wireless nodes using two routing protocols AODV and DYMO for communication has been compared with respect to generic, micamotes and micaZ energy models for a particular simulation scenario. This comparison is based on performance in terms of following metrices: average jitter, end to end delay, throughput, energy consumption in transmit mode, energy consumption in receive mode, and energy in idle modes. Results show that the mica-motes energy model is best as compared to micaZ and generic energy models and also observed that the ADOV outperform DYMO routing protocol in generic, mica-motes and micaZ energy radio models.
