Trusted and Optimized Platform for MANET: CACO

Sonia Deswal, Renu Dalal, Priyanka

MANET (Mobile ad-hoc network) is a type of ad hoc network that can alter locations and has the ability to self configure on the fly. Because MANETs are mobile, they are having wireless connections to connect to various other mobile nodes. Therefore there is a great need of trust scheme and also an optimization technique so that shortest path can be find out between the two communicating nodes in MANET. In this paper firstly we survey some optimization techniques which find out the optimizing path between the source and the destination. And then we propose a Cuckoo Ant Colony Optimization (CACO) model. In this model the Cuckoo Search algorithm is applied in MANET to find out the most trustworthy node among all the nodes who want to join the MANET. After finding, the most trustworthy node, if any node, say source node(S), wants to send some packet to the destination node(D) then ant colony optimization technique is applied to find out the optimized path among all paths from the S to D.
