Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are autonomously self-organized networks without infrastructure support. Nowadays mobile devices in MANET are battery operated. Power is an important factor in MANET. In a mobile ad hoc network, nodes move arbitrarily; every node may be required to perform routing in order to achieve end-to-end communication among nodes. These networks are energy constrained as most ad hoc mobile nodes today operate with limited battery power. Hence, it is important to minimize the energy consumption of the entire network in order to maximize the lifetime of ad hoc networks. On Demand –driven reactive Protocols used for MANET. The variant of power aware AODV and DSR protocols are available in reactive protocol. So it will focus on any one variant of that and it will incorporate some new mechanism which will select energy efficient route based on link stability, residual energy level.
