Trust Enabled Cluster Aware Routing Protocol Design with Energy Considerations using Fuzzy Strategies

Abstract

In this modern era, wireless communication technologies are getting high impact over network industries. Due to this drastic development of communication technologies, a network needs to be more precise with certain metric such as: energy consumption, throughput, trust management, performance and lifetime. These are all the primary concern while handling the transactions with wireless communication systems. In this paper, a new approach of network routing protocol is introduced, which will replace the issues found in existing routing protocols and provide good support while communication between entities. The proposed paper introduces a new routing protocol called Modified Adhoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV), in which the classic AODV protocol supports mobile nodes with several impacts such as mobility, failure prevention, loss management and so on. However, the issues in industry still remains, so, that a new approach or routing protocol is required to overcome such issues. This is the concern to develop a new routing protocol for establishing communication between mobile nodes or wireless devices. The drastic development of communication devices requires some latest technologies to provide range free communication model with the assistance of internet support. A term, 'Internet of Things (IoT)', which rules the world now-a-days through its power of connectivity and establishing the bridge between communication devices around the globe without any range restrictions. In this paper, a cluster based routing strategy is designed with the help of fuzzy assistance. The cluster based routing protocols divides the range of communication into clusters and electing the cluster head based on the communication needs and provides a range free communication model with the hands of IoT support. This cluster based routing model provides support for both inter and intra-cluster communications, which all will be brief in further sections. The proposed model of wireless communication assures the following things such as Improved Energy Efficiency, reduced packet loss and delay, improved throughput ratio and lifetime over resulting scenario with the help of a new algorithm called Fuzzy Assisted Cluster enabled Routing Model (FACeRM) with the association of new routing protocol MAODV.
