Abstract

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) have witnessed significant growth, driven by the proliferation of wireless-enabled portable devices. This article explores critical aspects of MANETs, including cluster formation, fault tolerance, and the innovative concept of Energy-Based Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT). Cluster formation is essential for efficient communication and resource management in MANETs. This article delves into proximity-based clustering, node distance calculation, and cluster head election to create robust communication structures. Fault tolerance is paramount in MANETs, where node failures can occur due to various factors. Clustering-based fault tolerance is discussed, emphasizing fault detection, isolation, and redundancy to ensure network resilience. The article introduces the concept of Energy-Based Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) as a novel approach to address the unique challenges of MANETs. Energy-aware strategies are integrated with Byzantine Fault Tolerance to enhance network reliability and energy efficiency. The Energy-Based BFT algorithm aims to optimize cluster formation, Byzantine fault tolerance, energy-efficient communication, dynamic energy management, energy-aware quorum selection, fault detection with energy conservation, and head election based on energy reserves. The expected outcomes of this research include developing and validating the Energy-Based BFT algorithm, tailored for MANET clustering, to improve fault tolerance, energy efficiency, and network reliability. The article highlights the promising potential of Energy-Based BFT in fortifying MANETs against malicious attacks while extending their operational lifespan. Further research and empirical evaluations are suggested to fully understand its practical implications.
