One of the effective mechanisms for reducing the cost of data communication in wireless ad hoc networks is energy efficient routing. Mainly the total energy is computed for end to end traversal and then the routes are identified. This paper considers two algorithms Reliable Minimum Energy Cost Routing (RMECR) and Reliable Minimum Energy Routing (RMER) and compares the performance of both. RMECR addresses reliability, energy efficiency and prolonging network lifetime by considering the remaining battery energy of nodes as well as the link quality. RMER find routes that consume minimum energy for traversal. Both of these can be used for end to end traversal and hop to hop traversal. Comparison results show that RMECR performs better than RMER and when will further develop a new algorithm EERCR uses clustering technique ,it will enhance the performance.
