COMPARISON OF ACO AND PSO ALGORITHM USING ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND LOAD BALANCING IN EMERGING MANET AND VANET INFRASTRUCTURE

MANET and VANET are emerging technology in the current trend for research. VANETs are a subclass of MANETs. In MANET, nodes are connected by wireless channels in-network and each node acts as a router and as host. One of the scenarios of MANET is Vehicular adhoc networks (VANET). For communication in VANET, the vehicles interacting between themselves as well as along with roadside device stations, efficient routing Protocols are needed. This paper represents the performance of ACO (Ant colony optimization) and PSO
(Particle Swarm Optimization) in MANET as well as VANET for efficiently transmit the data in the shortest route to reach the destination and also evaluates energy consumption and load balancing among MANET and VANET.
