Abstract

Ad hoc networks are wireless, infrastructure less, multi-hop and dynamic network, established by a collection of mobile nodes which provide envisioned features and applications to the modern communication technologies and services. In ad hoc networks clustering technique nodes are formed together and arranged in a group. Due to the dynamic topology of ad hoc network the cluster head (CH) election and route optimization are considering as the complicated processes [1] [2]. In this paper, we used the genetic algorithm (GA) for the CH election and route optimization in mobile ad hoc networks. For this optimization technique we have chosen some parameters such as degree difference, battery power, degree of mobility and sum of the distance of a node of mobile ad hoc networks[7][12]. Simulation results are conducted to evaluate theproposed approach average number of clusters in various environments and its route construction to find, the shortest and a very good path between the source to destination in ad hoc networks.

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) also called ad hoc networks is a type of wireless network which organized without any physical medium. In this network nodes are moving dynamically without any centralized infrastructure and each node behaving as a self-organizing and self-configuring node i.e. acts as a router. Routing is an essential component of communication networks, which defines act of moving information from source(s) node to destination node(s) in an inter network. Multicast is a type of routing scheme used to send the data packets from the source to multiple destination. Multicasting can support a variety of applications and services. Most existing multicast routing protocols have only one source in a multicast group, as a resulting point of view cluster based multi-source multicasting has been developed to send different kinds of applications in the multicast environment. The proposed routing algorithm is implemented by the network simulator and its packet delivery ratio, control overhead and forwarding efficiency results are drawn by the network animator.
