Fuzzy Logic Based DSR Trust Estimation Routing Protocol for MANET Using Evolutionary Algorithms

In MANET attaining consistent routing is a main problem due to several reasons such as lack of static infrastructure, exposed transmission medium, energetic network topology and restricted battery power. These features also create the scheme of direction-finding protocols in MANETs become even more interesting. In this work, a Trust centered routing protocol is suggested, since trust plays a vital role in computing path in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Estimating and computing trust encourages cooperation in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Various present grade systems suddenly estimate the trust by considering any one of the parameters such as energy of node, number of hops and mobility. Estimating trust is an Energetic multi objective optimization problem (EMOPs) typically including many contradictory goals such as lifetime of node, lifetime of link and buffer occupancy proportion which change over time. To solve this multi objective problem, a hybrid Harmony Search Combined with Genetic algorithm and Cuckoo search is used along with reactive method Dynamic Source routing protocol to provide the mobile hosts to find out and sustain routes between the origin node (SN) to the target node (TN). In this work, the performance of the direction-finding practice is assessed using throughput, end to end delay, and load on the network and route detection period.

Automated summary

Trust plays a vital role in computing paths in mobile ad hoc networks. Various present grade systems estimate trust based on factors like energy of node, number of hops, and mobility. A hybrid optimization algorithm is used to solve the multi-objective problem of trust estimation, aiming to improve the performance of direction-finding protocols in MANETs.
