POWER AWARE AND SECURED ROUTING PROTOCOL IN MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK: A SURVEY

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a network of mobile nodes that can communicate together without a fixed or centralized infrastructure. It is easily deployed and suitable for a broad range of applications in the various domains which include disaster management, fire outbreak, emergency operations and as well provide communication in places without wireless facilities. However, due to MANET mode of operation, challenges such as dynamically changing topology due to high node mobility, energy efficiency, and security are been faced by MANET which makes it so difficult in providing a robust and efficient routing protocol. Power and security Power Aware and Secured Routing Protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Network: A Survey http://www.iaeme.com/IJARET/index.asp 707 editor@iaeme.com are the two major obstacles that have always been an attraction and area of interest to researchers to improve the MANET operation and future of the mobile network. Therefore, this work thereby provides a critical and extensive survey of recent work and the approach which researchers have used in solving these challenges. Also, an hybridized model of Symmetric-Asymmetric Bat-Particle Swarm Optimization (SABAPSO) technique is proposed to keep the data secured and also reduce rate of energy consumption of mobile nodes in the network.
