Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile hosts that create a temporary network without the help of centralized administration or particular support services.Energy consumption is the most critical issue in the MANETs, since the superior part of the mobile hosts work on inhibited battery resources.Reduction in the energy consumption results in the increase in the lifetime and throughput of the network.The performance of existing strategies is less in terms of energy conservation issues.To overcome these limitations, this paper uses an energy consumption method incorporate with a proactive MANET routing protocol.The routing protocol depends on the energy level and the movement of the nodes.Estimation of energy cost is performed based on the calculation of the energy consumption level of the node, using K-Means clustering along with AODV (Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector) optimized with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO).The performance of the proposed "K-Means-AODV-ACO" model is compared with the existing Energy Efficient Hybrid Routing Protocol (EE-HRP) and Mobile Agents based Reliable and energy efficient routing protocol (MAREERP) MANETs.From the comparison result, it is clearly seen that the proposed model accomplished better execution in terms of number of Packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay, delay, drop and energy consumption.
