Abstract—With the deployment of MANET mobile networks, the failure link is problematic. Due to the characteristics of ad hoc mobile networks, the failure link is mainly due to the node mobility, energy consumption of the batteries and the radio link quality. Failure link causes loss of data packets and more traffic control for path repair. In this paper we propose an analytical model of the multi-criteria cost function for the selection of stable paths. This function is defined based on residual energy, degree of mobility, traffic rate and link quality. We have integrated this solution into the reactive multipath protocol AOMDV. Finally, the results of simulation show that our approach offers good performances and answers the concern of failure link.
