The AODV protocol is based on the minimu m delay path as its route selection criteria, regardless of the paths load.This issue leads to unbalanced load dissemination in the network and the energy of the nodes on the shortest path deplete earlier than others.We proposed an improved AODV protocol with limited TTL (Time to Live) of RREP packet in which the route reply (RREP) packet of AODV is modified to limite TTL info rmation of nodes.Experiments have been carried out using network simu lator software (NS2).Simu lation results show that our proposed routing protocol outperforms regular AODV in terms of packet delivery rate, good put, throughput, and jitter.
