I. INTRODUCTION
Wireless networks are network which are used to communicate
between different nodes using radio frequency. Mobile Adhoc
Networks means communicating groups of mobile nodes in a
wireless media that are operating in distributed manner. Such a
network is self-organized. According to the mobility of each
node these networks are dynamic in nature hence topology
changes frequently. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are
not centralized means in this network the nodes are operating in
distributed manners. These are self-organized networks [3].
MANETs are infrastructure less networks because the nodes are
mobile. All the nodes can move in any direction while
communicating and these nodes can act as both router and host.
So, these networks are dynamic in nature means can change
their topology. This may cause problems like overhead traffic,
memory consumption etc. MANETs also possess multi hop
routing means packets are allowed to forward to destination
through multiple nodes thus creating each node act as terminal
as well as router.
There are some issues in MANET include limited resources,
changing network topology, QOS, scalabilityetc. Routing is task
of transferring data from source to destination while maximizing
network performance. So it becomes a challenge in MANETs
[10]. Because of changing topology and network density, limited
resources changes paths which were initially efficient but can
quickly become inefficient and infeasible. These nodes have to
interconnect from source to destination via intermediate node
because these networks have limited bandwidth. To overcome
these problems related with MANET, a number of routing
protocols have been developed for different scenario. Because of
this dynamic behavior routing in Manet which is very difficult to
fulfill the QoS requirements.
The main objective of the approach is that,
 Introducing new mechanism for route selection of ZRP
with ACO.
 Enhanced Ant-ZRP consider the
 Congestion ,
 residual energy,
 No: of hops along the path
etc…
Fig1: Tactical communication
Tactical communications [35] are military communications in
which particularly during the conduct of combat information of
any kind, mainly orders and military intelligence, are
communicated from one person, or place to another upon a
battlefield. While communicating in a tactical environment there
should be a multimedia data transfer so data need to be receive
with a good quality of service. Ant colony optimization [25]

Abstract :
Adhoc networks are networks of wireless connectivity between various hops, frequently changing network topology and the efficient
dynamic routing protocols that are needed and plays an important role too. Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid are different classes of
routing protocols. An on-demand and Hybrid routing strategy are popular routing category in mobile Adhoc networks. On comparing
the other protocols the ZRP that is Zonal routing protocols the hybrid which provide best node mobility performances. Here the Ant
colony optimization approach is introduced in order to get an optimal path selection in network scenario. It is essential for the tactical
communication that needs the essential quality of service. By providing enhanced Ant colony optimization the pheromone value that is
the behavior of ants used here are continuously updated that is enhancement by using the parameters like residual signal strength,
energy, hop count, etc... to get the optimal results which helps to get a very good performance results while in a highly mobile tactical
environment too. In this work an attempt has been made to study the behavior of an enhanced technique combining Hybrid routing
protocol with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) that can increase various QoS requirements.

which is mainly based on the behavior of ants .it works on the
basis of the pheromone value that secrete. Here the pheromone
value is updating continously to compute the optimum path to
transfer data from a sender to the destination. Paper aims to
provide a better solution to QoS satisfaction by enhancement of
ant colony optimization [36] in different routing protocols.
2. REVIEWS RELATED TO DIFFERENT QOS
IMPROVEMENT METHODS IN VARIOUS
PROTOCOLS.
Manet has dynamic nature, hence efficient routing is difficult.
Due to the nodes mobility, node failures and link breakages in
the network is very high. Main issue arising in Manet is the
selection of the optimal path to communicate in a wide range of
nodes. Routing becomes more challenging in tactical ad-hoc
network which has an application used in battle field. In tactical
ad-hoc network multimedia data needs to be transmitted requires
high Quality of Service (QoS). Here discussing some papers that
improves the QoS in Manet.
Pinki nayak et al. proposed Energy aware routing scheme using
variable range transmission for Mobile Adhoc network. The
proposed algorithm is introduced to make an energy aware
network. Nodes energy efficient design of the protocol can be
generated by varying transmission. In a distributed manner the
power level of node will be controlled for each packet and thus
energy aware network can be created [2]. Z.Albayrak et al. in
2014 proposed Bee –Manet: a new swarm based routing
protocol for MANET.it is a new routing algorithm for mobile
adhoc network. Introduced to improve the throughput of
network. The Bee- Manet, on reactive adhoc routing protocols
and the bee adhoc routing protocols are also compared widely to
get better results while go for large scale behaviors [3]. Accurate
and energy efficient congestion level measurement in adhoc
networks discussed by Yangyong Zhang et al. discussed the.
Here proposes a new mechanism the congestion detection which
measures the energy efficient network of having congestion
level accurately. The measurement is at both node level and the
flow level [6].Pankaj gupta et al. discusses about the
performance measure of Drop tail and the RED algorithm. Here
the mechanism trying to detect the congestion by averaging the
queuing size. The router drops the packets with respect to the
value of threshold and is calculated by some probabilistic
distribution. If packet loss is known drop probability can be
calculated and the loss is minimized by the modification of the
congestion window size [12].
In [14] S Pandya et al. discussed about an Advanced AODV
approach for efficient wormhole attack in Manet also detection
and mitigation. It is a new approach to mitigate wormhole attack
and digital signature is used to make a secure system that
efficiently founds the wormhole attack. In order to analyse the
behavior of the wormhole the approach uses calculation of
tunneling time taken by tunnel.In [17] discussed about the
Adhoc on demand distance vector routing. In order to get an
efficient packet delivery introduced a novel algorithm named
AODV. On compared to the DSDV algorithms AODV which
stores continously updates the each nodes information and about
the route. Algorithm results longer latency for route
establishment. Jeba Kumar Mohan Singh et al. proposes a
unified approach for detecting and eliminating selfish nodes in
Manet using TBUT. Token Based Umpiring Technique (TBUT)
is introduced here where every node need to participate in an
adhoc network and all needs a token which is essential to
participate efficiently and the other nodes acts as umpire.
Approach results less congestion, less overhead, and efficient
with the reduced detection time [18]. Marco fortino et al. (2010)
discusses about Evaluating Energy-aware behavior of proactive
and reactive routing protocols for Manet. Here analysis done
under considering the residual energy of each node separately in
a network. Independently lifetime of node is a serious problem
when a mobile network is very dense. Discusses some protocols
like OLSR that considers the energy aware metrics in order to
improve its performance [19].
Benkappa S M et al. proposes a new method named Energy
Efficient AODV- An efficient approach for energy conservation
in Manet. It is a new routing mechanism for the energy
conservation and to improve the lifetime of nodes. Uses details
about the energy constraints like need of energy, energy
threshold, remaining energy and future energy computation
etc… to provide efficient routing mechanisms [21]. In 2017
discussed about the OEFS: On demand energy based forwarding
strategy for named data wireless adhoc networks. Here considers
residual energies of the nodes during a data transfer over a
network. It is used to solve the security issues, scalability,
complex usage etc… Here neural data network is used and
provides security mechanisms to provide efficient multipath
routing network [22].
In [23] Savitha shivani et al. discussed about Optimized swarm
based dynamic Mobile Adhoc on demand routing network
protocol. Proposes the ACO mechanisms to enhance the
dynamic routing behavior on considering various performance
parameters. Considers the distance between nodes and the
density of the neighboring nodes and results a better
performance in almost all performance metrics. Zulkarnain MD
Ali et al. (2017) proposes based on hybrid particle swarm
optimization with ant colony based energy control routing for
enhancement of energy control routing protocol for Manet.
According to different routing protocols movement
characteristics are discussed and ACECR-PSO gives a better
consumption of energy and the extended life time of network
[28].Fitness –distance-ratio based particle swarm optimization
[31] introduced in 2014. Algorithm introduced a velocity
component too in order to update the equation. Particles moved
in the direction of considered as a parameter. FDR-PSO shown
to perform optimization problems.
Sanjay Mishra et al. proposes Optimum route selection using
improved FF-AODV to increase network lifetime in Manet. It is
a new protocol that introduced to find the best path from the
availability to the destination. FF-AOMDV with dragon fly
algorithmic behavior is used here for the improvement of energy
consumption, network lifetime, packet delivery ratio etc… [33].
In [34] proposed about the Energy efficient multipath routing for

Manet based on hybrid ACO-FDRPSO. Here explains about the
combination of both ant colony optimization and the fitness
distance ratio in order to get efficient and optimized energy. In
this paper the duty cycle algorithm along with the ACO helps to
get a swapping behavior between active and sleep modes among
the nodes. There will be no active state for a node at all time if
there is no communication at all. Helps to reduce the energy and
to enhance the lifetime of the node. Zeyad M Alfawaer et al.
[35] proposed an enhanced multipath strategy in mobile adhoc
routing protocols. Whenever a route is failed, proposed to make
there is no node to be overburdened and it is distributed to other
nodes by finding an alternate path. Search of Next Node Enquiry
Table (SONNET) introduced to find the best neighboring nodes.
Hence reduced number of hops also delay and thus maintained
the quality of service.
In 2017 discussed about the Energy efficient multipath routing
protocol for Mobile adhoc network using the fitness function.
AOMDV protocol is discussed here on considering the fitness
function. Helps to find the optimal path and to reduce the routing
delay as well as the consumption of energy. Method considers
several parameters to compute the fitness factor and this method
performs low delay, better throughput, high packet delivery ratio
etc. [36]. Navneet Kaur et al. (2018) introduced a method energy
efficient and improved network lifetime multipath routing FF-
AOMDV and Dragon fly topology. Introduced to solve the
energy consumption problems of Manet. Fitness factor is
calculated and optimum path is found to the destination in a
multipath routing behavior. Results fitness function with dragon
fly topology behavior improves the packet delivery ratio, end to
end delayed… [38]. Marc Gilg et al. discussed about the
Network life time maximization of the AOMDV protocol using
nodes energy variation. Overloaded nodes and the nodes having
very less remaining energy are not considered on path discovery.
Considers each nodes energy to found efficient path and results
an efficient path discovery and improves the packet delay ratio
[39].
Dipika Sarkar et al. proposes Enhanced ant AODV for the
optimal route selection in Manet. In connection to the ant
biological characters the pheromone value will be calculated
based on the congestion, end to end reliability, number of hops,
residual energy of the nodes and considering the distance of the
destination. The path having highest pheromone value will be
the best efficient path for the transmission of packets [13]. In
[20] proposes Enhancing AODV routing protocol to predict
optimal path using Ant Colony algorithm in Manet. Here
proposing an enhancement a new method to predict optimal path
between mobile nodes based on different parameters using
ACO. A self-organized structure of the nodes in a network and
can adapt to different topology are the characteristics of Ant
colony optimization algorithms. The method will reduce the link
failure probability and also increase the stability of the network.
3. METHODOLOGY
Proposed Enhanced_ANT_ZRP scheme has been presented
here. On considering the link quality, congestion, residual
energy and number of hops along the path Enhanced-Ant-ZRP
constructs an optimal route from source to destination. Each
node keeps routing table about the information of path. In order
to consider a node as intermediary node it must satisfy a
particular value of residual energy when it becomes less than or
equal to the threshold energy, it will not be considered as an
intermediary node. Similarly considers threshold for received
signal strength to consider for next hop.
1. SIGNAL THR: A threshold value for received signal strength.
2. RE THR: A threshold value residual energy.
By ant colony optimization it considers the pheromone value by
the metrics like Received Signal Strength Metric (RSSM),
Congestion Metric (CM), Residual Energy Metric (REM) and
Hop-count Metric (HCM) and stores the value in its routing
table.
Calculation of pheromone count
Selection of the next hop for the packet transmission which
considers pheromone value for selecting next hop.
Let, there exists a link from node i to nodej.
Pheromone value of the link PCij can be calculated as,
Pheromone = Raz *Eaz
Caz * Haz
Raz - received signal strength at node j from node i,
Eaz - residual energy of the node j,
Caz - congestion in node j,
Haz - number of hops that the route request has traversed from
the source to node j via node i.
• Hop-count metric (HCM)
Metric calculates number of hops a packet has come through
along its way from the source at every intermediate node. When
goes to next hop it is incremented by one.
• Received Signal Strength Metric (RSSM)
RSSM determines the reliability of the link on data transmission.
• Congestion Metric (CM)
CM can be determine by the buffer occuring . With the help of
queue length among the nodes can easily detect whether there is
congestion or not. Length of the queue changes according to the
packet transmission.
• Residual Energy Metric (REM)
Every node has an initial energy. While transmitting packets
each node losses a certain amount of energy. Thus the remaining
energy after the packet transmission is called residual energy. If
too low the node will not be consider for the path selection.
