Abstract: MANETs are self-organizing infrastructure less ad-hoc networks with many challenges with low power, limited storage and limited processing devices. Among all the parameters that affect the network efficiency accuracy, scalability and power consumption are main challenges in the routing of mobile ad-hoc networks. The network lifetime is dependent on the power efficiency of the nodes in the network. The protocols must have to provide the energy efficient route through intermediate nodes in the network. The trust based routing approach is one of the best mechanisms to establish an energy efficient route between source and destination. In this study, we first propose the family relationship based trust model and then propose a new energy efficient trust based routing protocol to reduce the routing overhead, delay and provides better packet delivery ratio that outperforms the existing routing protocols.
