Computation and routing in Mobile Ad hoc

Network (MANET) is strongly co-related with power

resource. Recent trend is to minimize the power

consumption and maximize the computation without

hampering the quality of service in MANET. To increase

durability, battery resource of a node that has more power

than its neighbor nodes could be used for routing and

computation. In this paper a power aware routing scheme

based on AODV protocol is pr

esented. The protocol focuses

on increasing network lifetime by taking into

account

residual capacity of the nodes wi

th respect to its neighbors,

its internal load as well as

no. of message transfers. The

protocol finds durable routes having nodes with more
