Power-Aware Secure Routing protocol in MANET based on Reputation Model and Optimization

摘要

The Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a self governed communication network connected by wireless links, where mobile nodes transfer data packets with each other using wireless links without depending on any other infrastructures or central control. Offering power aware secure routing protocol is a challenging task in this kind of network because of its changing topologies and fewer resources. This work introduces a power-aware secure routing protocol considering a reputation model. Here, Krill Herd based Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (KH-GOA) along with the reputation model and power is developed for establishing a secure path from initial node to destination. The reputation model contains reputation parameters, which include node mobility, actual capability of the node, previous records, and reputation among the neighbours. The reputation factors are considered for each node along with proposed KH-GOA algorithm, which is the integration of Krill Herd (KH) and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), for establishing a secured path from the initiating node to destination. The proposed KH-GOA based routing protocol uses multi-objective functions, such as reputation, power, distance, and delay. The performance analysis for the proposed KH-GOA produces better power, throughput, delay, and detection rate with value 27.313W, 0.670, 0.114, and 0.734ms, respectively.
