A Performance Enhancement and Optimisation of the Secure Channel for Application in MANET Routing Protocols

Abstract

Sensor networks are increasingly being used for a wide variety of purposes, prompting academics to develop a variety of approaches to this problem. Sensor networks have minimal limits to improve the network's performance. The network architecture and energy efficiency are the two major stumbling blocks for the systems' performance. The topologies of sensor networks are not constrained by any design and are dynamically altered by device mobility. In addition, since the gadgets are battery-powered, the algorithms have to be cognizant of power consumption. There are barriers in the research to enhancing performance because of these constraints. A good deal of work has been done to increase performance, focusing on better routing. Despite this, it is impossible to ignore the present algorithms' energy efficiency. Since then, researchers have been looking for a routing algorithm that is both efficient and energy conscious. A new route-optimized cluster-based algorithm with low energy usage results from this research.
