Abstract: AODV is a much popular reactive protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Network. But the performance of AODV is comparable in the highly mobile network due to frequent route breaks. In this paper, we proposed a modified AODV protocol with reliable and energy efficient route maintenance phase. So that in case of link failure a reliable and energy efficient backup route is selected for data packet transmission. It overall increases the packet delivery ration in a highly mobile network as well as increase the throughput and network lifetime. We simulate our proposal on discrete network simulator NS2. The result shows that our proposed approach improves the performance of AODV in terms of packet delivery ratio and network lifetime. Our approach also provides the good QoS parameters when primary route fails.
