Battery power and trust based routing strategy for MANET

In mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) environment, main task is to determine a suitable route among source and destination node such that delivery of the message can be guaranteed. The route should be picked in such a way so that whole nodes in the path are trustworthy, non malicious, non-selfish and with less hop count. Selfish nodes may not follow the collaboration pattern and cause a deliberate reduction in the performance of network. This paper detects a path among source and destination node which contains non-selfish, trustworthy nodes and try to keep less hop count.
