If some nodes die prematurely because of battery depletion, the network lifetime will be adversely affected, and the network will get disconnected. This article presents AOMDV-LP, a new AOMDV lifetime-prolonging routing algorithm for MANETs. This new algorithm helps to maximize the network lifetime by managing nodesenergy,linkcostandcontrollingthenetworkscongestion.Simulationsquantifytheperformance gains of the authors algorithmenAOMDV RoutingEnergyLink CostMANETsNetwork LifetimeNetworks CongestionProtocolArticle
