There is a need for generating multiple paths for guaranteed transmission. The multi-path finding can be achieved through a genetic-based algorithm that faces the major challenge in quality-of-service (QoS)-aware routing. To enhance the QoS communication over the MANETs, an exponential genetic algorithm (GA)-based stable and load-aware QoS routing protocol (SLAQR) is proposed in this paper. This paper chiefly focuses on the enhancement of the GA-based routing algorithm by including exponential function in the searching process and modifying the fitness function, which incorporates QoS metrics like the node\u2019s static resource capacity, dynamic resource availability, neighborhood quality, and link quality. The originality of the proposed protocol comes from the fact that it introduces multiple parameters into the route quality computation and integrates the exponential function into the GA. For experimental validation, the simulation of the proposed method is done and the results are compared with existing protocols such as GAQR (GA-Based QoS Routing), QMRB-AODV (QoS Mobile Routing Backbone Over Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing), and EISGA (Ensemble of Immigrant Strategies with Genetic Algorithm). From the outcome, we conclude that the delivery ratio, throughput, and delay of our proposed SLAQR approach have improved the GAQR approach by 58%, 56%, and 97%, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/jisys-2016-0031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,23]],"date-time":"2016-09-23T05:22:51Z","timestamp":1474608171000},"page":"669-682","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Exponential Genetic Algorithm-Based Stable and Load-Aware QoS Routing Protocol for MANET"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Rama Rao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Systems Engineering , Andhra University , Visakhapatnam , India"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Valli Kumari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Systems Engineering , Andhra University , Visakhapatnam , India"}]},{"given":"Ch.","family":"Satyananda Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Systems Engineering , Andhra University , Visakhapatnam , India"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025120523365024695_j_jisys-2016-0031_ref_001_w2aab3b7b6b1b6b1ab1b6b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"M.
