As nodes often join or leave the network, the communication between the cloud and the MANET remains unreliable in Cloud-Assisted MANET. The event of connection failure in MANET presents several challenges to the network, in particular, the handover issue and high energy consumption during route re-establishment if a connection fails in D2D (device-to-device) communication networks. To address this problem of D2D mobile communication in 5G, we propose a Node Monitoring Agent Based Handover Mechanism (NMABHM). To improve the network's efficiency, we use the Kmeans algorithm for clustering and cluster head selection in Hybrid MANET and maintain a backup routing table based on a Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to quickly recover the route. Additionally, a Node Monitoring Agent (NMA) is introduced to handle the handover issue if a node comes out of range during the communication phase. The NMABHM-based handover mechanism is proposed with group mobility over a cluster-based architecture involving agents. The results of the simulation indicate that, in terms of lower energy consumption and higher throughput, our proposed mechanism is more effective than the current routing mechanisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
