BEE colony optimization inspired energy efficient and secured routing protocols for MANET

Abstract

A Mobile ad hoc network MANET is a random and an instant inter or intra network skeleton less connection The independent or the individual nodes electronic equipment PCs mobile sensors etc cooperatively stands together to form a mobile ad hoc network The main applications of MANETs are military applications disaster recovery exploration law enforcement sensor network and multimedia applications The major challenges related with the MANET is its mobility unplanned topology change energy and its edifice system secured routing In design of ad hoc networks a critical matter is the effective and secure routing of packets to destinations Security in MANET is the most vital concern for the basic functionality of network One of the most important challenges in MANET is to design the robust security solution that can protect MANET from various routing attacks Design of energy efficient routing protocol with optimal power consumption is still an open challenge as the performance degrades due to the scalability of MANETs newline
