Remit Accretion in IOT Networks Encircling Ingenious Firefly Algorithm Correlating Water Drop Algorithm

Abstract

In current scenario of internet usage with a raPID rate, Internet of Things (IOT) has become innovation has become the most smart and innovative solution for users. IOT requires utilization, arrangement and association of not only homogeneous but also heterogeneous systems: not only infrastructure based but also infrastructure-less systems. So this requirement of heterogeneous based infrastructure-less systems led to the integration of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) with IOT. The IOT-MANET collaboration is for smart clients so the traditional routing protocols of MANET based on conventional routing approaches needs to be modified. So this research study focuses in optimizing the routing based solution for hybrid approach i.e. Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) of MANET through two novel swarm based bio-inspired approaches referred as Firefly Routing Algorithm (FRA) and Intelligent Water Drop Routing Algorithm (IWDRA). The optimization provided by FRA and IWDRA will be utilized in real world scenario of IOT-MANET. Both firefly and intelligent water drop approaches are validated through Network Simulator (NS). When applied on traditional ZRP and route aggregated ZRP firefly and intelligent water drop approaches provided optimized results against most important and specific comparison parameters like: End to End Delay (E2D), Normalized Routing Load (NRL), Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) and throughput. When FRA and IWDRA are simulated against one another, as validated in this research study; FRA proved its worth over IWDRA. The results presented and validated in this paper will lead to huge boom for various real time industries like; medical, healthcare, agriculture etc. dependent on IOT-MANET.
