Abstract—Nowadays, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are applied in various aspects such as rescue, military, medical applications and smart cities. Also, they are expected to be so popular in 5G as they possess intrinsic and advanced features of the future communication technology. A MANET in 5G will be a radio system aimed at extremely high data rate, low latency, lower energy and cost. To support this, routing protocols in the MANET must be flexible, energy-efficient and highly performance achievable. In addition, increasing the network lifetime has recently become a mandatory requirement in design of any routing protocol for MANETs. In this paper, we propose a new energy-efficient and high performance routing protocol extended from AODV to meet the above requirements. We equip the new protocol with a novel powerful costing function that is able to select high throughput, lower energy-consumed and longer lasting routes for data transmission. The simulation results will prove this assertion.
