Genetic Algorithm Based Multicast Routing Optimization Model for Mobile ADHOC Networks

In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), wireless mobile devices are designed to work in co-operative manner. These devices are connected via wireless link to communicate with each other. The node mobility, channel collision and abnormal channel conditions are the reasons for the occurrence of data transmission failure in MANET. Even though several routing schemes are available to handle these problems, robust and novel solution is needed to provide better communication among large scale wireless devices. The solution must have capability to handle poor channel condition and connectivity failures in multicast transmission. Genetic Optimization Based Routing protocol (GOBR) is developed to outperform during bad channel conditions and high mobility situations and to handle communication failure. GOBR provides unique, methodology to establish multicast communication based connectivity and resource availability of wireless devices. In multicast transmission, the better performance has been achieved by implementing GOBR compared to Multicast operation of Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol (MAODV).
