Abstract:
MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) is a self-contained network made up of mobile
nodes that communicate without the use of a central controller. These nodes
each function as a router, allowing packets to be delivered and received. In this
research, routing and mobility issues have been examined. Since nodes can join
or leave an ad hoc network at any time, it may be difficult to establish routing
between any two nodes in an ad hoc network. This implies that a method that
was perfect at one moment can suddenly become ineffective. In this research, a
multi-objective parameter-less Jaya optimization is used to determine the best
path between network nodes. The main contribution of this research work is to
increase the PDR , throughput and minimize the delay of the network. In
addition, the proposed technique was compared to current optimization
techniques like Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), as well
as well-known reactive protocols like DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) and AODV
(Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector). The suggested solution surpasses others
in terms of performance characteristics such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR)
(92.72 %), Delay (0.01042 sec), and Throughput (89.74 %).
