Ad Hoc networks: Route discovery channel for mobile network with low power consumption

Abstract

The mobile networks are the independent node networks with limited power sources and mobility. The source node acts as an intermediate node for communication with the target nodes with direct transmission range of source node. For the clear network establishment between the source and the target nodes, the selected node must have the sufficient power and minimal power consumption. Hence, establishing the stable path between the source and destination nodes is crucial for multicast routing network paths. For multicasting networks, a special route discovery channel is proposed for mobile ad hoc networks. This approach is based on the evolutionary strategy. The topology discriminates other tree-based multicast routing topologies by adopting evolutionary computation strategy called genetic algorithm to select the multicast tree with optimal intermediate nodes that have the maximal residual energy and minimal energy usage.
