Abstract
SummaryNowadays, research based on mobile ad hoc network's (MANET) performance improvement has drawn a particular concentration from scientists worldwide. The shortest path selection among destination and source nodes determines the network's throughput in MANET. In addition, power management and energy consumption are also the major difficulties that MANET suffers. The conventional routing protocols are intended for static bonding, but that protocol does not satisfy the stability in ad hoc networks by means of regularly changing connectivity. This shows the routing problem in MANETs. Therefore, to overcome the routing issues and maintain energy efficiently, the Type‐2 fuzzy‐based Starling Murmuration Optimizer (SMO)‐War Strategy Optimization (WSO) (T2FSMO‐WSO) routing protocol is proposed in this paper. MANET takes into account four input parameters: route length, active link ratio to global traffic, network lifetime, and control packet ratio. The SMO algorithm is employed to choose the relay node with low energy consumption. The trapezoidal membership functions are used to describe the fuzzy sets for these parameters. The content‐based routing among source and destination nodes is determined using the WSO algorithm. The simulation outcomes reveal that the proposed method discovers highly stable paths with minimum distance and minimized the consumption of energy.
