Design and Implementation of Trust Based Routing Algorithm to Enhance QoS for MANETs

In Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs), resilient optimization is based on the least energy utilization as well as privacy. The crucial concerns for the productive design to provide multi-hop routing are security and energy consumption. Concerning these problems, we present in this paper an author proposed routing protocol called Protected Quality of Service (QoS) aware Energy Efficient Routing protocol. It is developed on trust along with energy efficiency and points to improve MANET security. The proposed work utilizes an identification methodology in the company of a key based safety feature for assigning trust ratings. This study also determines three categories of trust ratings, including direct, indirect, and overall trust scores, beneficial to increase communication security. The head of a cluster is selected among the nodes based on QoS metrics and scores of the trust which is referred to as a cluster based secured routing approach. Finally, to carry out the safe routing procedure as efficiently as possible, the required final path that is picked depends on path trust, energy consumption, and hop number. The suggested work was evaluated via simulations using the Ns2 simulator. The proposed strategy beats others in the matter of enhanced delivery rate of the packets, lifetime of a network, and security according to the simulation findings. Further, the proposed safe routing technique saves time and energy as compared to current relevant secure routing methods.
