Adaptive-Sunflower-Based Grey Wolf Algorithm for Multipath Routing in IoT Networks

Abstract

This paper devises a routing method for providing multipath routing inan IoT network. Here the Fractional Artificial Bee colony(FABC)algorithm is devised for initiating clustering process. Moreover the multipath routing is performed by the newly devised optimization technique, namely Adaptive-Sunflower based grey wolf(Adaptive-SFG)optimization technique which is designed by incorporating adaptive idea in Sunflower based grey wolf technique. In addition the fitness function is newly devised by considering certain factors that involves Context awareness, link lifetime Energy, Trust, and Delay.For the computation of the trust, additional trust factors like direct trust indirect trust recent trust and forwarding rate factor is considered. Thus, the proposed Adaptive SFG algorithm selects the multipath for routing based on the fitness function.Finally, route maintenance is performed to ensure routing without link breakage.The proposed Adaptive-SFG outperformed other methods with high energy of0.185Jminimal delay of 0.765sec maximum throughput of47.690%and maximum network lifetime of98.7%.
