Abstract
As nodes often join or leave the network, the communication between the cloud and the MANET remains unreliable in Cloud-Assisted MANET. The event of connection failure in MANET presents several challenges to the network, in particular, the handover issue and high energy consumption during route re-establishment if a connection fails in D2D (device-to-device) communication networks. To address this problem of D2D mobile communication in 5G, we propose a Node Monitoring Agent Based Handover Mechanism (NMABHM). To improve the network's efficiency, we use the K-means algorithm for clustering and cluster head selection in Hybrid MANET and maintain a backup routing table based on a Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to quickly recover the route. Additionally, a Node Monitoring Agent (NMA) is introduced to handle the handover issue if a node comes out of range during the communication phase. The NMABHM-based handover mechanism is proposed with group mobility over a cluster-based architecture involving agents. The results of the simulation indicate that, in terms of lower energy consumption and higher throughput, our proposed mechanism is more effective than the current routing mechanisms.

We proposed a Node Monitoring Agent-based Handover Mechanism (NMABHM) in CA-MANET that helps in reducing the high energy consumption which occurs due to connectivity loss between the Super Peer and Indirect Peer
A Cluster-based CA-MANET architecture is suggested for effective use of bandwidth and energy in the network
Summary
The most important communication medium for information between different devices, has witnessed rapid growth over the subsequent years. With the increasing demand for QoS and the data transfer speed for mobile networks, there is still a requirement for new communication technologies [2,3]. Due to the compatibility features, Cloud Assisted MANET, which is the combination of Cloud and Mobile Ad-Hoc Network, has received a lot of interest from researchers today. MANET's distinguishing feature, in addition to its unique features and advantages like dynamic topology, mobility, multi-hop, and decentralised administration, is its ease of connection with other networks. With this superiority in communication, MANET has made significant contributions to the growth of the Internet industry [3]
