Data aggregation and routing in Mobile Ad hoc network: Introduction to Self-Adaptive Tasmanian Devil Optimization.

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANETs) is referred to as the mobile wireless nodes that make up ad hoc networks. The network topology may fluctuate on a regular basis due to node mobility. Each node serves as a router, passing traffic throughout the network, and they construct the network’s infrastructure on their own. MANET routing protocols need to be able to store routing information and adjust to changes in the network topology in order to forward packets to their destinations. While mobile networks are the main application for MANET routing techniques, networks with stationary nodes and no network infrastructure can also benefit from using them. In this paper, we proposed a Self Adaptive Tasmanian Devil Optimization (SATDO) based Routing and Data Aggregation in MANET. The first step in the process is clustering, where the best cluster heads are chosen according to a number of limitations, such as energy, distance, delay, and enhanced risk factor assessment on security conditions. In this study, the SATDO algorithm is proposed for this optimal selection. Subsequent to the clustering process, routing will optimally take place via the same SATDO algorithm introduced in this work. Finally, an improved kernel least mean square-based data aggregation method is carried out to avoid data redundancy. The efficiency of the suggested routing model is contrasted with the conventional algorithms via different performance measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
