A Modified Firefly Optimization Algorithm-Based Fuzzy Packet Scheduler for MANET

In Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs), the packet scheduling process is considered major challenge because of error-prone connectivity among mobile nodes that introduces intolerable delay and insufficient throughput with high loss. this paper, a Modified Firefly Optimization Algorithm improved Fuzzy Scheduler-based Packet Scheduling (MFPA-FSPS) Mechanism proposed for sustaining Quality Service (QoS) in network. This MFPA-FSPS mechanism included Fuzzy-based priority scheduler by inheriting merits Sugeno inference system potentially adaptively estimated packets’ guaranteeing optimal network performance. It further used modified to optimize rules utilized fuzzy engine achieve potential process. adoption dynamic optimization guaranteed excellent necessitated packets at an appropriate time minimized waiting time. The statistical validation conducted using one-way Analysis Variance (ANOVA) test confirmed its predominance over benchmarked schemes investigation.
