Neuro fuzzy controllers based multipath routing technique in mobile adhoc networks (MANETs)

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) comprise a set of wireless mobile nodes that communicates data between them with no infrastructure. The nature of restricted communication range of wireless network nodes leads to the requirement of multi-hops to communicate data in the network. Multipath routing discovers many routes among an individual source and destination. MANET possesses a network that has a tendency to change its structure frequently; hence the task of accomplishing a prescribed number of pathways between a prescribed source and destination nodes appears to be tedious. A new Neuro fuzzy oriented routing algorithm in MANET (NFRA) has been proposed in this work. The ultimate objective of the NFRA algorithm is to suitably create the fuzzy type controllers with the aim of minimizing the quantity of reconstructions in the wireless ad hoc network. The obtained simulation results have been found to portray both the efficiency and effectiveness of the applications incorporated into the Mobile ad hoc networks.
