The mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is difficult to maintain the routing path from node mobility. The device in mobile ad-hoc network has limited power. It is in charge of both transmitting data packet and maintaining routing path. In consequence, the lifetime of routing path differ with the power control method. We propose the routing model using PARO (power-aware routing optimization) and ZRP (zone routing protocol) for effective power control and transmission. This paper presents a routing algorithm which tries to minimize the power consumed in transmitting a packet from the lifetime of the network by avoiding nodes that have a shorter lifetime remaining.
