TBSMR: A Trust-Based Secure Multipath Routing Protocol for Enhancing the QoS of the Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a miscellany of versatile nodes that communicate without any fixed physical framework. MANETs gained popularity due to various notable features like dynamic topology, rapid setup, multihop data transmission, and so on. These prominent make suitable for many real-time applications environmental monitoring, disaster management, covert combat operations. Moreover, can also be integrated with emerging technologies cloud computing, IoT, machine learning algorithms achieve the vision Industry 4.0. All MANET-based sensitive require secure reliable transmission must meet required QoS. In MANET, achieving energy-efficient challenging task. To accomplish such objectives, it necessary design routing protocol enhances MANET’s this paper, we proposed trust-based multipath called TBSMR enhance overall performance. The main strength considers multiple factors congestion control, packet loss reduction, malicious node detection, intensify performance analyzed through simulation in NS2. Our results justify exhibits superior than existing approaches.
