With rapid growth in wireless Ad Hoc networks, Quality of service factor has drawn a great attention of researchers.Whereas network topology of wireless networks constantly changes, resources like bandwidth and energy are also limited.As power is very important factor for the proper working of Ad Hoc networks, need of the time is to research about efficient utilization of power.In the paper, we improve LAR (Location-Aided Routing), one of the most famous location based routing methods, which uses GPS technique to get information about the location of mobile node.Our new protocol considers both areas of routing and power.At first, propose a more efficient routing method which finds more stable paths .Secondly, a power aware method is proposed to have a prior knowledge about the remaining battery backups of all the intermediate nodes so that the nodes with battery backups equal to or greater than the minimum threshold power are the part of path between source and destination.This work presents an efficient approach for providing QOS in power aware scenario.
