Manets are characterized by the mobile nodes moving randomly in the network. Lesser batteries is one of the features of the nodes deployed in the mobile ad hoc networks. Since these networks are decentralized in nature, therefore any node is free to join the network or leave the network without informing any centralized authority. The mobile ad hoc networks suffer from issues of link breakage arising out of constantly changing topology. This works aims at solving the issues by making use of modified leapfrog algorithm. The traditional routing protocol such as AOMDV or AODV etc. make use of broadcasting the RERR packets in case of link breakage between the nodes. This broadcasting does repairs the route, but consumes lot of energy of the network. The modified leapfrog algorithm, on the other hand, chooses one common neighbor of the nodes (whose link has been broken) to repair the route. The algorithm is quick and is energy-saver. The performance of the network has been compared with state-of-the-art routing protocol based on the PDR, throughput and remaining energy in the network. The performance of the proposed LP-AOMDV shows improvement over the existing work.
