An energy-aware and congestion-avoidance routing protocol for mobile Ad Hoc network is proposed in this paper. The protocol modifies RREQ of AODV by adding some fields including energy and load information. When nodes forward RREQ they also rewrite these fields with their own situation. So the destination node can find a shortest route without low-power nodes and high-load nodes to avoid instable route most probably. On the other hand, the protocol can protect low-level energy nodes and avoid congestion.
