Abstract In mobile Ad hoc networks, the topology is dynamic, the energy of node is always limited, and there are always asymmetric links between nodes. This paper presents an Energy-Aware Multipath Routing Algorithm(EAMRA) which intends to prolong the TTL(Time-To-Live) of this kind of mobile Ad hoc networks. EAMRA is a connection-oriented and reactive path-pool-based routing algorithm which chooses randomly the routing for user data according to path metrics. The path metrics, reliability and residual-energy, are updated in communication process. The simulation results show that EAMRA can effectively prolong the TTL of mobile Ad hoc networks.
