Mobile ad hoc network contains small infrastructure and easy communication by the aid of self configuring network. The multicasting is one of the significant elements which are used to convey the similar data from one basis to numerous targets. So, it encompasses a variety of troubles whereas conveying data such as node failure, delay, high energy utilisation, and so on. Therefore, we proposed an enhanced differential evolution cuckoo search routing protocol (EDE-CS) to construct the consistent communication in multicasting. This multicasting network is the mixture of two optimisation algorithms such as differential evolution and cuckoo search optimisation algorithm. The clustering is involved in our method for reliable transmission of packet using differential evolution algorithm and the cuckoo search found the best route path on transmitting the messages efficiently. The NS2 is a simulation tool which gives the consequence of our proposed method by comparing with the existing protocol. Therefore, it obviously illustrates that the proposed protocol of EDE-CS gives more effectiveness when compared with other existing protocols.

The hybrid wireless network has developed as a promising solution, enabling mobile customers to accomplish higher execution and access service in a consistent way free of their reality in the range of wireless local area network (WLAN). In this paper, we have proposed the load aware routing protocol for the hybrid wireless network. Hybrid networks were having the combination of several networks such as MANET and VANET. In the hybrid network generally, the data transmission is very high and hence, it is necessary to create a reliable routing protocol for avoiding delay and to increase packet delivery ratio. Thus, we have implemented the optimal algorithm of MOEAD/D, i.e., a multi objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition combined with Djikstra. Here the MOEAD is used to find the best router for transmitting the data packets and the Djikstra algorithm is used to find the shortest path for the router. Thus, this combination of MOEAD and Djikstra has yielded a reliable load aware routing protocol. The simulation result shows that the performance of our proposed routing protocol is better than the existing protocol.

In mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) judgment in optimal reliable routing path between source and destination is a challenging task because of the mobility nature of nodes and is deficient in the infrastructure of the network which is so dynamic. So the objective of this paper is to identify optimal reliable ordered routing paths between source and destination nodes in MANET. To meet the above challenging task the paper focus on a hybrid algorithm, this combines particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) also defied PSO-GA. Motivation of hybrid approach is combining the advantage of these both algorithms. As shown, the performance obtained by the proposed approach is best compare to existing methods.

An ad hoc wireless system is an accumulation of self-ruling nodes or terminals that interacts with each other by framing a multi-hop radio system and keeps connectivity in a decentralised way. This implies that it can maintain the system promptly without the need of framework organisation. In spite, there has been a developing enthusiasm for mobile ad hoc networks as the method for giving sudden links to a group of nodes. The energy requirement of a portable node is typically a battery and the battery depletion is one of the real constraints behind the node failure. Entire mobile nodes may not be inside the transmission range of each other thus they need to interact with multi-hop approach. The loss of a unique node can incredibly influence the entire execution of the system. Thus, to utilise the constrained energy source viably and to maximise the life time of the system numerous energy effective routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs that in turn utilise diverse applications to preserve energy. Here it aims to improve the accuracy of performance evaluation therefore it is required to consider the evaluation of protocols at different layers which leads to better energy solutions. The present research will focus on evaluating performance of energy efficient protocols at different layers.

In our proposed system, the vehicular sensor network (VSN) is formulated based on the cognitive radio with the aid of optimal link state routing (OLSR) protocol. Here the cognitive radio related vehicular sensor networks are anticipated for the data communication. The optimal link state routing protocol is modified by utilising the hybrid group search and genetic algorithm (HGSO-GA) algorithm. The OLSR protocol is used to pick the adjacent nodes which disseminate the power package to diminish the quantity of control transparency in the network. The data packages are conveyed from source to destination with the help of multi point relay (MPR) vehicles, which is the subset of the chosen neighbour vehicles by each source to access all the two-hop neighbours act as forwarders. OLSR routing protocol to efficiently manage spectrum allocation that helps reduce the routing delay. The proposed technique is implemented in the working platform of NS2.

This paper proposes a novel formation scheme for an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor network which is organised into a tree topology. This scheme consists of the network formation initialisation algorithm and the network formation maintenance algorithm. In the initialisation algorithm, each node first calculate the lengths of routing paths reaching all other nodes in the network, and then the node with the minimum path length is elected as a root. In this way, the average length of the routing paths is reduced and accordingly the routing delay is also shortened. After the initialisation algorithm is executed, the maintenance algorithm is performed to maintain the tree topology. When the tree topology changes, the maintenance algorithm can dynamically adjust the root in order to reduce the average length of the routing paths and shorten the routing delay. This scheme employs beacons to achieve the initialisation algorithm and the maintenance algorithm, so the extra costs and delays are avoided. This scheme is analysed and evaluated, and the data results show that this scheme effectively reduces the average length of the routing paths and shortens the routing delay.

Mobile communication paradigm has shifted from a closed network of transmitters and receivers to an access network transporting what the content providers have to offer. Many existing and future applications offer the same content to most, if not all, clients. These applications include crowdsensing, news, and traffic monitoring portals. Mobile operators would largely benefit if such applications use multicast messages instead of unicast. Multicast communication suits such applications, but in some scenarios its efficiency can drop to reach that of unicast. In this work, we will propose a mechanism to optimise the allocation of radio resources when used for multicast, thus offering the mobile operator an opportunity to increase profit without affecting user satisfaction. The performance of the proposed mechanism is measured for various simulation scenarios.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the emerging areas which are extensively being used for development of real time monitoring systems. Landslides are the major cause of loss of life, human settlements, agriculture, forestland, and lead to damage of communication routes. In this paper, we propose new landslide monitoring system with maximising the life time of sensor nodes by avoiding link failure in routing protocol. The cluster-based routing protocol with the sensor nodes is capable of data acquisition, data storage, data processing, and wireless data transmission. Then, collected data's are aggregated using fuzzy data mining technique which maximise lifetime of all sensor nodes in the network area. The proposed approach is implemented and results are obtained through NS-2 simulation shows that the proposed algorithm performs better than other landslide monitoring systems in terms of network life time, sensor node life time, data transmission and energy consumption.

We propose to quantify the neighbourhood stability of a node without using the location and mobility information of the nodes in a mobile sensor network (MSN). We make use of the notion of Jaccard similarity to quantify the similarity in the sets of neighbours of a node between any two successive sampling time instants and compute the weighted average of the Jaccard neighbourhood similarity (WJNS) over a period of time. Our hypothesis is that nodes with larger WJNS scores have a stable neighbourhood and could be preferred for inclusion as intermediate nodes for stable paths. We validate our hypothesis through extensive simulations: The lifetime of the WJNS-based paths is significantly larger than that of the minimum hop paths and the predicted link expiration time (LET)-based paths; the trade-off being a marginal increase in the hop count compared to that of the minimum hop paths.
