Title A name given to the resource Optimized gateway oriented unicast and multicast routing for multi hop communication network Subject The topic of the resource Cluster head; Gateway; Multicasting; Routing; Unicasting Description An account of the resource Networking and communication in an infrastructure less environment had brought interest in the development of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). Growth of technologies in years has increased the size of the network and its applications. In larger MANET, it becomes important to maintain the quality of performance for increased overhead scenarios. Grouping of network optimizes the workload with reduced overhead for routing and maintenance in larger MANET. Mobile nodes are grouped by the use of clustering algorithms. Once the MANET environment is formed, the network needs appropriate architecture and methods to have efficient and effective transactions. Mobility, energy, selection of cluster head and gateway are parallel related with efficiency metrics of the network optimizing these parameter helps to increase performance of network in terms of higher packet delivery ratio, less energy consumption and jitter. This work proposes a routing architectural algorithm especially for very large network to get high-quality performance. The proposed method uses unicasting and multicasting approaches in an optimized way for routing and maintenance of the network. Analysis results prove that the proposed model has performed with higher packet delivery ration of 1.17% with a reduced jitter of 0.0014 s. Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2017.
