Routing protocols are required in network for deliver packets from source to destination. The multipath routing providing concept of load balancing but not efficiently distribute the load in network by that the valuable source of communication i.e. energy are affected from it because of packet loss. This paper work is motivated by the idea of taking account of several factors in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) routing design in a unified way. The rational of our motivation is that most of the multipath routing protocols are designed only based on one criterion, e.g., shortest path considered with balance load or energy conservation. We propose a scheme which could consider energy conservation, shortest path and load balancing, In this routing scheme, we would consider both the shortest path and the energy conservation in multipath way with proposed energy based multipath routing (E-AOMDV). We define an energy factor as that we will use the products of the energy factors of all the nodes along different paths as the selection criteria. The energy factor informs about the status of energy then here we evaluate the performance of AOMDV and energy based AOMDV (E-AOMDV). The life times of proposed E-AOMDV are limited but the improved routing as compare to AOMDV without including the energy factor. The performance of proposed scheme are better in limited life time. The performance matrices are shown the better results in proposed scheme.
