Assessment of performance metrics for fusion network

Abstract

The arrangement which does not necessitate any infrastructure for doing discussion among nodes is called MANET. The direction-finding technique, a mixture of ACO (ant colony optimization) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique, is designed in the paper. The designed technique is judged against several alternatives of particle swarm optimization technique and ant colony optimization technique, i.e.,EDNR+PSO, AntChain Protocol, Improvised Ant Colony Routing (IACR), and ANTALG. Open-source simulator NS 2.3 is employed for carrying out the simulation. From the outcome, it has been verified that the designed technique is finest in contrast to other alternatives of PSO and ACO.Routing overheads of the designed algorithm are reduced in contrast to other methods.
