Abstract
Routing in Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) poses challenges because of their dynamic topology and limited resources. Developing effective routing protocols (RPs) is essential to enhancing the network's Quality of Service (QoS). An example of such a protocol is the Multipath Energy-efficient and Predictive Fuzzy Logic with Consistent Link-based Copy Adaptive Transmit-based Routing Protocol (MEPFL-CLCT-RP), which utilizes backup paths based on link survival probabilities to improve the data communication and network performance. However, the protocol faces issues such as high complexity and routing overhead, particularly in environments with high mobility, which can affect scalability. This paper proposes a novel approach by incorporating the Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm (HOA) with MEPFL-CLCT-RP for FANETs. The proposed HOA-MEPFL-CLCT-RP uses a Fuzzy Logic (FL) system to identify several suboptimal routes connecting the origin and target nodes. The HOA then ranks and selects the most reliable backup path by evaluating potential routes based on their link survival probability. This technique minimizes routing overhead and delays, ensuring smooth transitions to backup paths during link failures. Simulation results indicate that HOA-MEPFL-CLCT-RP outperforms existing models in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), energy efficiency, End-to-End Delay (E2D), and routing overhead.
An in-depth review of energy-efficient routing protocols that have been developed for FANETs and highlights the main research challenges, such as high mobility, dynamic topology, routing overhead, scalability, and security, and discusses future research directions to design more intelligent and energy-aware routing protocols.

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are a useful means for communication in military and emergency situations, as well as for various types of smart sensors and other mobile applications, since they allow mobile nodes to interact with each other without relying on a fixed communication structure. However, fast-moving and unpredictable nodes result in frequent changes to the topology of the network which also result in inconsistent route selections and more energy used to send and receive packets, thus leading to lower overall performance on the network. This paper introduces an adaptive routing scheme based on the Shrike Optimization Algorithm (ShOA) for improving MANET performance by overcoming these issues. The proposed Scheme identifies the most efficient routing paths through the use of the predation and decision-making abilities of Shrike Birds. This Shrike-based routing design reduces the amount of information lost in the form of packet losses and routing overheads, while providing reliable transfers of data by properly balancing the trade-off between exploring and exploiting. Based on extensive simulation results, the proposed ShOA-based MANET exhibits substantially improved performance in the areas of packet delivery ratios, end-to-end delay, throughput, and overall durabilitys compared to both optimization techniques currently used and conventional routing protocols. Therefore,the results support the conclusion that the Shrike Optimization Algorithm offers aviable option for developing reliable and energy-efficient mobile ad - hoc networks for communication

To overcome the inherent compromises between proactive and reactive data transmission in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), this research introduces a novel framework tailored for highly unstable vehicular topologies. The developed system, termed the Dynamic Hybrid Routing Protocol (DHRP), merges the Optimised Link State Routing (OLSR) and Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) algorithms. A core feature of this architecture is its cross-layer power management module, which dynamically recalibrates transmission strength and routing paths by analysing real-time vehicle clustering and speed metrics. Comprehensive evaluations conducted via NS-3 and SUMO indicate that the proposed DHRP significantly surpasses both contemporary benchmarks and standard baselines. Notably, the architecture achieves a Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) exceeding 90%, limits communication latency to well below the critical 40 ms safety boundary, and slashes energy expenditure by up to 90%. By effectively solving the traditional routing dichotomy, DHRP offers a highly scalable and sustainable communication backbone vital for the reliable operation of future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
