Secure Multi-Path Routing Using Splitting and Merging Based Clustering for Reducing Power Usage in MANET

On the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), mobile devices often powered by batteries. These devices communicate with each other and broadcast information from a sender device to a receiver device. Suppose there are two devices between long distances due to the signal transmission limit. In such a case, they cannot directly communicate because they have to use more communication power. Routing technique needed to deal with this problem. Nowadays, a lot of routing techniques used in MANET. These have some significant drawbacks, such as a higher end-to-end delay and higher routing cost with higher power expenditure. To overcome this issue, Secure Multipath Routing (SMR) based on splitting and Merging-based Clustering (SMC) algorithm proposed for Secure Packets Transfer and Reduces Power Usage in MANET. This algorithm applies the splitting and merging network-based clustering and detects cluster-based minimum power usage routes for each mobile device. Experimental outcomes demonstrate that the SMR based on the SMC algorithm takes the smallest routing cost compared with existing algorithms and takes less end-to-end delay. Furthermore, it presents multipath routing to increase MANET security and reduces power usage efficiently.
