Improved Load Balanced & Energy Efficient Ad hoc on demand routing Algorithm

Abstract- With increasing deployment of unmanned and energy-constrained sensor devices in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks; the aspect of an energy efficient network lifetime have become the key consideration in designing ad hoc routing protocols. Routing protocols are required in network to deliver packets from source to destination. The multipath routing provides the concept of load balancing for efficient data transfer. In this paper, an improved routing algorithm is proposed for Mobile Ad hoc Network; modifying the existing ad hoc on demand distance vector routing (AODV) by calculating the load on different routes based on the parameters like minimum hop count, remaining energy in nodes and node mobility. To effectively use the energy of the network path and sharing the load on multipath, the concept of ‘first come first serve ’ is proposed to be implemented
