Abstract

Ad hoc networks are made up of groups of similar nodes, such as computers or embedded devices. Each node works on its own and talks to the others through a wireless channel. Networks like these are made up of groups of nodes that are either next to each other or connected by another wireless node. Nodes are grouped together along their wireless links to make clusters. Nodes that can talk to other nodes in their transmission range are called cluster heads. This can use cluster heads to send packets to the right nodes in your cluster. In an Ad Hoc network, the idea behind it is that nodes don't always move in the same way. Cluster Heads are picked by different algorithms in different ways. Some of these rules make it clear that some nodes are more important than others. Because of the extra work and faster energy loss that could happen because of more contacts, these nodes may be taken out of the network. Load-balancing across Cluster Heads is necessary to make sure that every node has a fair chance to be a Cluster Head. We Proposed that a number of changes should be made to current algorithms in order to fix the uneven spread of nodes among Cluster Heads and make nodes in a network that uses the fuzzy algorithm last longer.Load balancing in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) ensures equitable distribution of network traffic among nodes and resources. Due to the ongoing mobility and dynamic nature of nodes in MANETs, this aspect holds significant importance.
