Energy Efficient Routing In Manet For Improved Communication Using Shrike Optimization Algorithm

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
