Intelligent Path Selection In Wireless Networks Using Jaya Optimization

In this work, routing and mobility problems are addressed using a new Jaya Optimization Algorithm for Intelligent path selection in networks. In general, mobile nodes (MNs) are connected via wired mode or wireless mode. But in Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) MNs connected through wireless mode because nodes do not have an access point. Devices can be connected each other called as infrastructure less network whereas infrastructure based network devices can be connected through without any access point. The prevalent challenge of this network is mobility and routing. Mobility is processes of nodes are moving from one location to another location. A new Jaya Optimization algorithm is compared with other well-known mobility models like Random Waypoint, Random Direction, and Random Walk model. Also, in this study routing protocols were examined here. Furthermore, the performance results reveal that Jaya algorithm gives better results when compared with others in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio, Average Delay, Throughput and Routing Overhead.
