Abstract

A Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less network that permits nodes to make a wireless network with mobility. In MANETs, the node linkages breaks are frequent due to all nodes are in movement. When neighbor nodes travel out of other node communication range connection among both mobile nodes breaks. Thus it makes delay and packet loss in the network. In the present Traffic Control method, several times, since the highest traffic, heavy rain, accidents, or other reasons, there may be probabilities of jam on roads. Thus, people could get delay owing to the highest traffic. Therefore, it is highly preferred to have an effective way to track the traffic on roads and thus select the suitable road that is traffic free. To resolve these problems, the volunteer Nodes of Ant Colony Optimization Routing (VNACO) is proposed. The primary objective of VNACO is to reduce both the delay and routing overhead in Peer to Peer (P2P) MANETs. Here, peer node act as a volunteer node and mobile node for transmitting data from source to destination. During data transmission, the relay node moving out of communication range when the volunteer node overheard the dropped data packet then deliver the data to the corresponding relay node. As a result, minimizes both the delay and packet losses. In VNACO, the volunteer’s nodes are elected based on node aptitude. Node aptitude is calculated by iterating node connectivity, transmission processing time, node energy and available bandwidth. In addition, an ant colony optimization algorithm to finds the optimal route and reduce the routing overhead in P2P MANETs. The significant application of this mechanism is utilized for the traffic management system. Network simulation results indicate that the VNACO mechanism is minimizing 22% delay and reducing 14% packet losses compared to the baseline protocol.
