Abstract
Mobile Ad Hoc networks have no base station and use multihop routing for transmission of data from a
source node to its destination node. To make this multi-hop routing mechanism possible we need a routing
protocol. We have adopted load balancing technique that can improve the overall performance for
communication in a network. We have presented optimum performance for our novel protocol i.e. Energy
Efficient Load Balanced (EFLBAODV) and compared it to the traditionally existing reactive routing
protocol Ad Hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) thus using the load balancing technique to improve
the node to node communication in our network. Also our routing protocol will be energy efficient as it will
minimize the communication time and overheads thus utilizing the energy resources. Some important
metrics like route discovery time, route errors, MAC delay, network load, end-to-end delay and throughput
have been taken to evaluate the overall improvement in the novel protocol.
