In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), load balancing is considered one of the critical issues. Nowadays, load balancing is introduced to relieve the central nodes by shifting traffic away from the node. Many conventional routing protocols that have been designed, but cannot provide load balancing. Leader election is a major problem in wired networks as well as mobile ad hoc networks. Till now, several approaches are developed for the design and implementation of load balancing, but, the existing leader election techniques are unable to cope with frequent topology changes and the dynamic nature of mobile networks. In this research, Clustered ANTHOCNET Subleader, a leader election procedure is proposed, that is highly flexible to random topological changes and compatible for usage in MANET. The approach is centered on the discovery of extrema and the use of diffusing calculations to simulate the algorithm in a MANET environment. This study is carried out in MANETs by generating clusters and appointing a Cluster Leader (CL) using the Weighted Clustering Algorithm (WCA), as well as transferring various clusters utilizing Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The numerical simulations, clearly show that the proposed Clustered ANTHOCNET Subleader is used to accomplish Quality of Service (QoS) and stability when compared to Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (95.4%), Throughput (3991.54 bits/second), Delay (0.088s) and Jitter (0.058s) under random mobility nodes.
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.
