Abstract: A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is composed of mobile nodes, which do not have any fixed wired communication infrastructure. The protocol called |Power aware Multiple Quality of Service (QoS) constraints Routing Protocol with Mobility Prediction (PMQRPMP)| is the extension of the existing protocol called |Multiple QoS constraints Routing Protocol with Mobile Predicting (MQRPMP)|. It adds a power constraint along with QoS constraints mentioned in MQRPMP to select a best routing path among multiple paths between a source and a destination as to increase packet delivery ratio (PDR), reliability and efficiency of mobile communication. It collects the residual battery power of each node for each path; selects a path, which has nodes with good battery power for transmission to satisfy the power constraint. It uses the mobility prediction formula to find the stability of a link between two nodes.
