— In an Adhoc Network, every node is mobile and self-contained. As these networks lack infrastructure, highly adaptive algorithms are required to deal with frequent mobility changes by member nodes as well as Cluster Head (CH) nodes. The weighted clustering algorithms contribute significantly to cluster-based routing. In these algorithms, the selection of cluster heads is the most important task. In weighted clustering methods, the selected CH did their best to serve the network. However, the CH may become overloaded due to the arrival of nodes greater than their desired threshold value. In this case, the CH can become a bottleneck as it is unable to cope with rapidly increasing loads which ultimately degrade the network performance. In this paper, we address three network issues (i) Member Node movement (ii) Cluster head Node movement, and (iii) Overload at the Cluster head node caused due to mobility of nodes. Our proposed method Cluster Formation and Maintenance Techniques for Mobile Adhoc Networks with Improved Quality of Service (CFMIQS) include various adaptive algorithms to provide solutions to deal with these network issues and improve network Quality of Service (QoS). The Simulated Results are compared with the K-means AODV algorithm, the results showed better Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF) and Throughput values. Keywords— Cluster partition, MANET, Primary Cluster head, QoS, Secondary Cluster head

Mobile adhoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile devices which form a communication network with no pre-existing wiring or infrastructure. Multiple routing protocols have been developed for MANETs. As MANETs gain popularity, their need to support real time applications is growing as well. Quality of service(QoS) provisioning is becoming a critical issue in designing mobile adhoc networks due to the necessity of providing multimedia applications.These applications have stringent QoS requirements such as throughput, end-to-end delay, and energy. Due to dynamic topology and bandwidth constraint supporting QoS is a challenging task. QoS aware routing is an important building block for QoS support. The primary goal of the QoS aware protocol is to determine the path from source to destination that satisfies the QoS requirements. This article proposes a new energy and delay aware protocols called, energy and delay aware Adhoc On demand Distance Vector Routing (EDAODV) and energy and delay aware Dynamic Source Routing(EDDSR) based on extension of AODV and DSR. Simulation results show that the proposed protocols have a better performance than AODV and DSR in terms of energy, packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay.

In the recent time, the huge expansion in the application of the real-time applications for smartphones resulted in new difficulties when it is time to develop new protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETS). Most important within these difficulties is to activate real-time applications for mobile ad-hoc networks which includes quality of service (QoS) support, like bandwidth constraints and stability issues. Adding to this of course the reliability of the nodes as an important factor that has a direct effect on the network performance and data integrity.In this paper we will discussed the QoS main issue that affect several factors in the mobile ad hoc networks, which is the reliability. Because of the fact that the reliability and the availability of the nodes can be interacted made me use both the terms throughout the paper. we will suggest the efficient multi-path Quality of service routing (EMQR), (EMQR) as a QoS guarantee for the stability and reliability issues in the network. Next, we will discuss the availability issues as a QoS guarantee and for this we will suggest the best suitable protocol which is “an efficient warning energy aware Cluster head” WEAC as a solution to the availability issue.The two protocols will guarantee the availability and the reliability in MANETs as it is the new direction for routing algorithms design and it is a way to enhance the availability by controlling the Cluster head based on its power level as a metric for availability as in WEAC protocol and the reliability by increasing the reserved bandwidth for the route as mentioned in EMQR protocol.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network that includes physical things capable of aggregating and communicating electronic information. With the advancement in wireless sensor networks, IoT provides highly efficient communication for various real-time applications. IoT networks are large-scale networks where routing can be improved by focusing on the Quality of Service (QoS) Parameter. Network coverage can be enhanced by hierarchical clustering of the nodes which increases the network lifetime. The proposed algorithm Enhanced Fuzzy Based Clustering and Routing Algorithm (EFCRA) performs distance and energy-based cluster head selection to find a new path from source to destination. The algorithm uses Fuzzy c-means clustering to provide optimization in forming cluster centers. The cluster head (CH) is identified based on the minimum distance and maximum energy of the sensor node. The cluster head is updated when its energy is lesser than the threshold value. The distance between sensor nodes and its CH node and then to the destination is computed using Dijkstra’s algorithm. The proposed routing strategy provides improved network coverage and throughput which extends the lifetime of the IoT network.
