C-QoS-AOMDV: A Cluster Based QoS Aware Multipath Routing Protocol for MANET Using Hybrid Soft Computing Techniques

Versatile routing protocols are very popular in mobile adhoc networks (MANET) because a single route exceeds certain limits. Compared to one-way routing approaches, it has many advantages such as high productivity, low end lag, high energy efficiency, and network life expectancy. Energy efficiency is an important requirement in many applications because MANET terminals run on batteries. For further enhancement in QoS, we propose a cluster based QoS aware multipath routing protocol for MANET using hybrid soft computing techniques (C-QoS-AOMDV). The main contributions of proposed C-QoS-AOMDV routing protocol is given as follows: In C-QoS-AOMDV routing protocol, we introduce a modified bird mating optimization (MBMO) algorithm for clustering, which improves overall network energy consumption. We compute cluster head (CH) based on the multiple constrains for data transmission between cluster members to corresponding CH node. Then, mine blast optimization (MBO) algorithm used to optimize the multiple constrains to compute trust degree and maximum trust degree is act as CH. Third, we illustrate hierarchical decision tree based deep neural network (HDT-DNN) used to provide compute the next intermediate node for further data transfer between one CH to another CH. Finally, the proposed C-QoS-AOMDV routing protocol can implement in Network Simulator (Ns-2) tool and the results are compared with the existing state-of-art protocols are AOMDV, AOMDV- QoS and GE QoS AOMDV.
