A wireless Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a mobile network without any centralized control or fixed routing. It is based on radio-to-radio multi-hoping. All nodes in a MANET have the ability to move around and can link dynamically in any way. Routing in MANETs is a difficult task because of the changing network structure, frequent mobility, and low battery power. Additionally, nodes that are overloaded can use up all of their energy forwarding packets from other nodes, which would make the network unstable and reduce performance. When choosing a path, the traditional AODV routing protocol does not take nodes' energy or load into account, which causes it to perform noticeably worse in conditions of heavy load and rapid movement. This study assesses how well the AODV protocol performs when the load and remaining energy of the node are taken into account when choosing a path. By altering the broadcasting RREQ packet delay period, this method avoids nodes with low energy and high load. The load and residual energy based path selection strategy greatly boosts the network's stability and energy efficiency, according to simulation findings using NS-2.35. The network lifetime, packet delivery fraction, network routing load, and number of missed packets all show nonlinear improvements
