scholarly journals An Energy Efficient Clustering based Distributed Load Balancing Technique for Mobile Adhoc Networks

In a mobile adhoc network (MANET), energy efficiency and mobility prediction are the two main challenging design issues due to the mobile nature of the nodes in any direction with limited battery lifetime, thus leads to adequate topology modifications. These two issues are mainly considered to maximize the lifetime of MANET. Load-balancing and reliable data transmission among the mobile nodes is mandatory to increase the network lifetime. To achieve this, clustering techniques can be employed to minimize the topology size and to aggregate the details related to the topology. In this paper, we introduce a new clustering based distributed load balancing (D-CALB) algorithm to maximize energy efficiency and network lifetime. Furthermore, a fault tolerant feature is included in the D-CALB algorithm, which maintains a secondary CH as a backup node in case of the failure of the present CH. The presented ZXCD- CALB algorithm has undergone an extensive set of experimentation under a varying number of nodes and speed. The detailed investigation of the experimental results verified the superior nature of the presented D-CALB algorithm over compared ones under several measures.

<p>Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can extant the individual profits and suppleness with regard to low-power and economical quick deployment for numerous applications. WSNs are widely utilized in medical health care, environmental monitoring, emergencies and remote control areas. Introducing of mobile nodes in clusters is a traditional approach, to assemble the data from sensor nodes and forward to the Base station. Energy efficiency and lifetime improvements are key research areas from past few decades. In this research, to solve the energy limitation to upsurge the network lifetime, Energy efficient trust node based routing protocol is proposed. An experimental validation of framework is focused on Packet Delivery Ratio, network lifetime, throughput, energy consumption and network loss among all other challenges. This protocol assigns some high energy nodes as trusted nodes, and it decides the mobility of data collector.  The energy of mobile nodes, and sensor nodes can save up to a great extent by collecting data from trusted nodes based on their trustworthiness and energy efficiency.  The simulation outcome of our evaluation shows an improvement in all these parameters than existing clustering and Routing algorithms.<strong></strong></p>

A group of mobile nodes using a common wireless media forms a dynamic multihop network known as Mobile Ad-Hoc network (MANET). Creating substructure (cluster) of the mobile adhoc network, basically divides the network into sub network. It has been observed that clustering of large size MANET improves the system performance to a large extent. Clustering allows the MANET to organize it in some hierarchy which reduces control overhead and make it scalable. This paper, gives a new scheme of clustering the MANET that uses the concept of dominating set. The cluster so formed by the proposed method is more stable (less mobile) than the earlier existing algorithms .Here the dominating nodes will be considered as the cluster head of a particular cluster. The non dominating nodes will select the most qualified dominating node as their cluster head and will join the cluster. The quality of the node is measured by its clustering co efficient

Different schemes have been proposed for increasing network lifetime in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) where nodes move uncertainly in any direction. Mobility awareness and energy efficiency are two inescapable optimization problems in such networks. Clustering is an important technique to improve scalability and network lifetime, as it relies on grouping mobile nodes into logical subgroups, called clusters, to facilitate network management. One of the challenging issues in this domain is to design a real-time routing protocol that efficiently prolongs the network lifetime in MANET. In this paper, a novel fuzzy-based Q-learning approach for mobility-aware energy-efficient clustering (FQMEC) is proposed that relies on deciding the behavioral pattern of the nodes based on their stability and residual energy. Also, Chebyshev’s inequality principle is applied to get node connectivity for load balancing by taking history from the monitoring phase to increase the learning accuracy. Extensive simulations are performed using the NS-2 network simulator, and the proposed scheme is compared with reinforcement learning (RL). The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed protocol regarding network lifetime, packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, and energy consumption.


in WSN, clustering gives an effective way to enhance the network lifetime. Moreover It has been observed that the clustering algorithm utilizes the two main technique first is selection of cluster head and cycling it periodically in order to distribute the energy among the clusters and this in terms increases the lifetime of network. Another challenge comes with this is minimize the energy consumption. In past several algorithm has been proposed to increase the lifetime of the network and energy consumption, however these methodologies lacks from efficiency. In this paper, we have proposed a methodologies named as EE-CI (Energy Efficient Clustering using Interconnection), along with the random updation. Here the networks are parted into different clusters, the cluster updation are done based on the CHC scheme. Moreover, in proposed methodology cluster updation and data sample is determined through the change in sensor data. Here we propose a method for sampling sensor and CHC for selecting the cluster head to balance the energy and improvise the energy efficiency. Moreover, the proposed methodology is evaluated and the result is demonstrated by considering the Leach as existing methodology, experiments results shows that the proposed methodology outperforms the existing methodology.

Based on dynamic network topology, mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) plays a vital role. Mobility is one of the major issues in MANET which affects the quality of routing and disconnects in the route frequently. It is necessary to avoid interruptions in routing and provide a continuous connectivity among nodes to improve the routing ability in this situation. It is important to predict the present location information of the nodes since route failure and interruptions are caused by node mobility. To compare and predict the pattern of mobile nodes using flies flash patterns, this paper utilizes a Nature-inspired algorithm as Fire Fly Algorithm. Among mobile nodes, this can able to allocate the available resources and increase the routing quality. The Firefly algorithm is simulated in network simulation software and the obtained results are verified. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing the results with the other existing systems’ results.

At Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) has been long-researched topic in adhoc network owing to the associated advantages in its cost-effective application as well as consistent loophopes owing to its inherent charecteristics. This manuscript draws a relationship between the energy factor and security factor which has not been emphasized in any existing studies much. Review of existing security approaches shows that they are highly attack specific, uses complex encryption, and overlooks the involvement of energy factor in it. Therefore, the proposed system introduces a novel mechanism where security tokens and passphrases are utilized in order to offer better security. The proposed system also introduces the usage of an agent node which communications with mobile nodes using group-based communication system thereby ensuring reduced computational effort of mobile nodes towards establishing secured communication. The outcome shows proposed system offers better outcome in contrast to existing system.
