AODV Protocol Improvement using Intelligent Clustering

Abstract

The paper proposes an algorithm for intelligent cluster head (CH) election in clustered-AODV-based routing. Initially, the K-mean for clustering the MANET nodes have been used according to their distances between them. Next, the intelligent CH election using soft computing techniques that includes sequential hybrid Fuzzy-Genetic controller for this decision making have also been applied. The paper simulation shows that the clustered–AODV-based routing protocol can be modified by changing the ordinary known AODV protocol (Classical AODV) to comply with the clustered network
