Improvised routing using Border Cluster Node for Bee-AdHoc-C: An energy-efficient and systematic routing protocol for MANETs
Sasmita Mohapatra, M. Siddappa · 2016
For making Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) more energy efficient swarm intelligence is used as a base and the clustered based approach as Bee-Ad Hoc-C which is an evolution from Bee-Ad-Hoc has been chosen as the best method in our previous work along with Stable Cluster Maintenance Scheme. In the proposed method parallel routing has been considered to improve the scalability of the system, reduce the redundancy as well as save the routing time along with improved through put. Here extra care has been taken for inter cluster communication by the use of Border Cluster Nodes (BCN) between clusters. The results are found using the NS2 (Network Simulator-2). By the proposed method the MANET routing can be properly balanced in terms of energy efficiency, energy consumption for routing, routing discover, End-to-End delay, package-size VS Delivery - Ratio, package-size _Vs_ Throughput with a stable cluster network.
