Abstract

Energy is an important characteristic of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). We propose an Energy Aware Multipath AODV protocol (EAMAODV) based on AODV. EAMAODV obtains nodes energy by upgrading the route discovery and route maintenance process of AODV. It calculates drop rate derived by routes total hops. Drop threshold is used in deciding the route. Simulation is done using NS-2.35. The results show that EAMAODV has higher packet delivery ratio and throughput than classical AODV protocol.
