Proposition of a Novel Multipath-Routing Protocol for Manets Connected Via Positioning of UAVS Using Ant Colony Optimization Meta-Algorithms

Abstract

In the forthcoming operational theatre, combat radio nodes will be strategically positioned to facilitate a myriad of manoeuvres, constituting a dynamic mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), where communication among participating nodes is achieved collaboratively without fixed base stations. However, due to the nodes' mobility, the cohesive formation may fragment into smaller clusters, while conversely, multiple smaller groups might amalgamate into larger entities. In such a dynamic milieu, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) emerges as a potent solution to enhance network coverage and connectivity among disparate groups. Sending of information all over the MANETs is dependent mostly on methodologies of routing, where the on-request unitary paths procedures to route like AODV and AOMDV (which stands for routing via multiple roads) play crucial roles. Leveraging authentic topographic data becomes imperative to ascertain precise connectivity metrics among nodes, while devising an efficient resource allocation strategy for reliable communication via UAVs warrants attention. Given the predominance of line-of-sight links between UAVs and ground nodes, substantial traffic is anticipated despite less amount of information sectional resources. Furthermore, diverse quality-of-service requirements of network traffic necessitate prioritization based on tactical imperatives. In these studies, formulations have been done for Unmanned Flying Vehicle localizing problems geared towards maximal connectivity inside groups along with information section allocating problems aimed at increasing utilities of GC to maximum levels, demonstrating superiority over conventional methodologies through numerical analysis validating the efficacy of our proposed scheme. Wireless connections implemented rapid growths in recent times essentially network of MANET, showcasing significant developments of science and technology.
