Abstract:
Background: A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of self-organizing
mobile nodes creating an ad hoc network without fixed infrastructure. Routing is a major issue
in mobile networks that may reduce network performance due to frequent network topology
changes. Routing protocols are so important in dynamic multi-hop networks that many studies
have focused on the routing problem in MANETs.
Methods: In this research work, a proposed ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) with
an elephant herding optimization (EHO) called AODVEHO is used as an optimal path selection
method that creates a set of best paths between destination and source.
Results: To validate the performance of proposed AODVEHO, AntHocNet, AODV, and designation
sequence distance vector (DSDV). Various performance measures are considered to
validate our proposed research work, such as packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay
(E2ED), and average energy consumption (AEC).
Conclusion: Experimental results are indicated that the AODVEHO achieved a higher routing
overhead (73 %), PDR (89.87 %), low E2ED rate (95.22 %), AEC (75.60 %), and dead nodes
(75%) when compared to other routing schemes.
