“…In this manuscript, the proposed ANN based OLSR protocol's effectiveness is validated by means of EC, ROR, PDR, and EED. In addition, the ANN based OLSR protocol performance is analysed by comparing its results with the existing protocols like AODV, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), OLSR, Fuzzy Logic based OLSR [13], OLSR with multi-objective ALO algorithm [14], OLSR with bat algorithm [16], MAODV-ACO [19], and PSNHF based AODV protocol [20]. The performance is analysed by varying the node size such as 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100.…”
