This document proposes a new theoretical approach to location based power aware routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It aims to extend the network lifetime by improving power utilization during routing. The approach uses nodes' location information, remaining battery power, and bandwidth status to assign link stability and select routes with lower "uptime values" and minimum bandwidth over time. This is hypothesized to better utilize nodes' power sources and bandwidth. The document outlines calculating a root up time factor for each node based on its power backup and required power, and only using nodes with maximum backup. It concludes future work will design and validate a new protocol based on this approach.
