Description:

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) provide seamless connectivity in rapidly changing and dense environments. But when gateways are integrated to provide network access from outside the current topology, several issues become problems. These include maintaining high levels of performance, energy efficiency, security awareness and interconnection. Traditional routing protocols such as Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) were not able to achieve these two purposes at all in a hybrid setting where efficient communication with the gateway was needed, especially when faced with high mobility, node density and changing traffic loads. This paper introduces that the problem can be resolved by implementing Fuzzy Control Energy Efficient (FCEE) routing in WMNs The FCEE routing method, characteristic innovative energy-efficient real-time failure mechanism and overall network performance enhancement for wireless mesh networks By integrating fuzzy logic into the AODV framework, the FCEE method adds a short-term memory module that optimizes packet broadcasts based on real-time levels of energy available to each node. The FCEE method not only enhances decision-making for packet forwarding but also reduces unwanted broadcasts thus extending the life of the entire network. Simulations show the FCEE performs better than traditional methods in terms of both energy efficiency, congestion control, and adaptability to dynamic situations. The proposed method thus provides an affordable way to improve the operation of wireless mesh networks, particularly in the case of high traffic areas or long periods where resources are constrained.
