Proficient link state routing in mobile ad hoc network‐based deep Q‐learning network optimized with chaotic bat swarm optimization algorithm

Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a category of ad-hoc network that can be reconfigurable its network. MANETS are self-organized networks, that can use the wireless links to connect various networks via mobile nodes: but it consumes more energy and it also has routing problems. This is the major drawback of being connected with the MANET technology. Therefore, this study proposes a new protocol as deep Q-learning network optimized with chaotic bat swarm optimization algorithm (CBS)-based optimized link state routing (OLSR) (CBS-OLSR) for MANET. This protocol reduces MANET energy usage and adopts OLSR multi-point relay (MPR) technology. MANET's OLSR and the CBS algorithm utilize a similar method to locate the best optimum path from source to destination node. By embedding the new improved deep Qlearning and OLSR algorithms, both are used for optimizing the MPR sets selection, it can efficiently diminish the energy consumption in the network topology, but automatically increase the lifespan of the network. It also enhances the package delivery ratio and decreases end-to-end delay. The experimental outcomes prove that the proposed protocol is reliable and proficient that is appropriate for numerous MANET applications.

These advantages allow them to accommodate multiple nodes and decentralize management with its structure at any time. 3 Unlike other wireless systems, MANET has lack of central authority to monitor traffic transmission. 4 MANET systems have an infrastructure with a lesser configuration of corresponding nodes that are connected by wireless connections. The nodes are moving spontaneously or rather in a random section. 5 From node to network level, security in MANETs is important. 6 Owing to the dynamic nature of MANETs, there needs to be an acceptable level of trust. 7,8 Due to the dynamic nature and characteristics of MANETs, security on the MANET is more challenge

An Efficient OLSR Routing Protocol to Minimize Multipoint Relays in MANET

“…Additionally, the researchers have made several excellent attempts to select MPRs in order to improve the performance of the OLSR protocol while taking packet delivery ratio, routing overhead, throughput [24][25][26], energy efficiency [27], security issues [28] etc. into account.…”
