Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are a useful means for communication in military and emergency situations, as well as for various types of smart sensors and other mobile applications, since they allow mobile nodes to interact with each other without relying on a fixed communication structure. However, fast-moving and unpredictable nodes result in frequent changes to the topology of the network which also result in inconsistent route selections and more energy used to send and receive packets, thus leading to lower overall performance on the network. This paper introduces an adaptive routing scheme based on the Shrike Optimization Algorithm (ShOA) for improving MANET performance by overcoming these issues. The proposed Scheme identifies the most efficient routing paths through the use of the predation and decision-making abilities of Shrike Birds. This Shrike-based routing design reduces the amount of information lost in the form of packet losses and routing overheads, while providing reliable transfers of data by properly balancing the trade-off between exploring and exploiting. Based on extensive simulation results, the proposed ShOA-based MANET exhibits substantially improved performance in the areas of packet delivery ratios, end-to-end delay, throughput, and overall durabilitys compared to both optimization techniques currently used and conventional routing protocols. Therefore,the results support the conclusion that the Shrike Optimization Algorithm offers aviable option for developing reliable and energy-efficient mobile ad - hoc networks for communication

An Efficient Multipath Transmission Technique using Enhanced Hybrid Metaheuristic Ant Lion Optimization in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs)

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have emerged as a flexible networking paradigm; however, they are associated with several challenges, including low throughput, poor packet delivery ratio, high energy consumption, increased latency, and significant routing overhead. The Enhanced Hybrid Metaheuristic Ant Lion Optimization (EHMALO) method is suggested as a solution to these limitations. EHMALO applies the RSSI-based Link Expiration Time (R-LET), Context-Aware Dynamic Weight Adjustment Model (C-DWAM), and Dual Phase Exploration-Exploitation Technique (D-PET). These techniques are incorporated along with an enhanced Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm that uses the foraging techniques to explore the path, and an improved Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA) hunting strategy is chosen to optimize the routing path. The Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing algorithm is used in conjunction with the combined algorithm. To select the optimal path, an adaptive adjustment parameter for the feedback mechanism is considered after the iterations. This suggested approach is then used to assess performance metrics such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, latency, energy efficiency, and routing overhead. The effectiveness of the proposed EHMALO algorithm is illustrated using Network Simulator-3 (NS-3) simulations for various network settings. The results are compared to traditional techniques such as ACO, LOA, Particle Swarm Optimization-Genetic Algorithm (PSO-GA), and Hybrid Ant Lion Optimization (HALO) with AOMDV techniques. The Quality of Service (QoS) metrics have improved significantly as per the results The suggested EHMALO method performs better, surpassing the drawbacks of conventional bio-inspired methods. When route discovery and route maintenance are considered, EHMALO maximizes energy efficiency, throughput, and packet delivery ratio while minimizing the routing overhead ratio and end-to-end delay. Thus, the proposed EHMALO performs significantly better than ACO with AOMDV, LOA with AOMDV, PSO-GA, and HALO algorithms. The outcomes show that EHMALO has the ability to improve MANET performance in dynamic contexts in a dependable and scalable manner.
