Mobile Ad hoc Network is the indivisible part of wireless network. In the past few years, the popularity of MANET grows unlimitedly. Due to the presence of mobility and infrastructure less topology, the vulnerability of ad hoc networks is introduced unconditionally. In this research work, it is developed that cross layer based multipath neighbor routing protocol to attain network connectivity and load balancing among the mobile nodes. In this phase, multipath routing is deployed to overtime the

... failures and breakages of links and paths. For reducing energy consumption, the energy consumption model has been proposed to keep maximum energy efficiency of mobile nodes. It is also calculated that the rebroadcast delay and rebroadcast probability of the proposed protocol. It uses the upstream coverage ratio of an RREQ packet received from the previous node to calculate the rebroadcast delay, and use the additional coverage ratio of the RREQ packet and the connectivity factor to calculate the rebroadcast probability in our protocol, which requires that each node needs its 1-hop neighbourhood information. By using the experimental result this work achieves more connectivity, lifetime and less overhead than the existing schemes NCPR and DPR and AODV.
