An architecture for a wireless network that is constantly developing, decentralized, and multi-hop is called a mobile ad hoc network. MANETs are able to function in many different contexts where regular networks are unable. As can be seen from the advantages listed above, these networks are well-suited for a wide variety of applications, some of which include military and commercial use, as well as applications relating to disaster management, rescue operations, and defense. Energy conservation is a standard factor that indicates the overall network lifetime in mobile ad hoc networks that operate on rechargeable or replaceable battery. This is because usage, battery power consumption in relation to transmission range, type of application running on each device, location, and other influences all play a part in determining the overall network lifetime. An earlier study used a method called ant colony optimization, which is a form of swarm intelligence enthused by the activity of foraging ants in colonies. The best possible travel plan was found using this strategy. Current MANETS routing systems face difficulties in load balancing and energy efficiency that must be overcome if optimal path convergence is to be achieved. When deciding on the next hop node, the IoT based AEEBLR method is recommended. The latency, energy consumption, congestion, and connection quality are all taken into account before making a final decision. The likelihood of selecting the next-hop node as the neighbor node is determined using these metrics. It is the following hop's probability that determines which ant agent goes forward and which goes backward. This paves the door for the creation of many paths, from which the most effective might be chosen for transmission. The results of the implementation show that the suggested AEEBLR technique outperforms the existing AESR approach when the number of packets, the number of nodes, and the mobility of nodes are all varied.
