A Hybrid Modified PSO-AODV Energy Efficient Routing Protocol in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

The community, with the exception of a body infrastructure unit, is recognized as a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). The nodes move kinetically, whether the data is in communication or not, it is inactive and therefore the topology is modified. To improve the wireless routing protocol efficiency with the help of node transmission range and load balance. The nodes transmission coverage range implies the importance of cluster in the network. Due to the movement of wireless nodes, it can frequently change their cluster heads, based on their distance among them. PSO-AODV is a routing protocol, in which they set up a route on demand. By implementing the PSO-AODV with WCA minimizes the link break among the nodes. The proposed hybrid AODV-WCA approach minimizes the energy efficiency, delay, load balance among the nodes. By implementing an algorithm based on node transmission range Clustering efficiency is improved. It also increases the packet delivery ratio of the node in the network.
