Methodologies and limitations of exiting methods.

Reference	Work	Methodology	Advantages	Limitations
[28]	Optimal path selection in MANET for time sensitive applications (OPSTSA)	Trust model Authenticated Anonymous Secure Routing	Decreases end-to-end delay and increases the trust value	Small area and less number of nodes and security is not achieved
[29]	Enhanced-ant-AODV for optimal route selection in MANET(EAAORS)	Pheromone value calculated based on ANT/AODV protocol	Decreases end-to-end delay and increases the throughput	Packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, jitter, and security are not achieved
[30]	An optimal energy efficient route selection algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks based on LOA (OEERS)	Based on the trust value, the sensor node elected and based on the fitness value optimal path is; calculated between; source and destination	Better achievement of packet delivery rate and energy consumption	Security is not achieved
[31]	Shortest and energy efficient routing protocol for MANET (EMS)	It provides the algorithm for selecting the minimum energy node and provides the; routing path based on; minimum number of hops	Minimum energy consumption and minimized hop counting	Security is not achieved
