This paper proposes a novel optimmzed power ecient routing algorithm (OPERA) considering the   network parameters like node density, power consumption, trac congestion and node status. The proposed work   ranks the network communication parameters based on di
erent trac congestien zones like maximum, moderate   and minimum, using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and selects optimal path. The OPERA is adaptive and   power ecient. A simulation study is performed to compare the performance of OPERA with AODV protocol.   Our results indicate that OPERA consumes less power than AODV.
