Abstract: Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically form a temporary network without the reliance of any infrastructure or central administration. Energy consumption is considered as one of the major limitations in MANET, Energy consumption is the factor to improve network lifetime and various energy efficient algorithm has been developed in previous to reduce energy absorption. This paper highlights the energy consumption in MANET by applying the fitness function technique to optimize the energy consumption in ad hoc on demand multi path distance vector (AOMDV) routing protocol. The proposed protocol is called AOMDV with the fitness function (FF-AOMDV). The fitness function is used to find the optimal path from source node to destination node to reduce the energy consumption in multi path routing. The performance of the proposed FF-AOMDV protocol has been evaluated by using network simulator version2 (NS2). The experimental results clearly demonstrate that the proposed algorithm reduces the average energy consumption when compared to the standard AOMDV routing protocol.
