Abstract: A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a combination of multiple mobile nodes, which are interconnected by radio link. In MANET, sensor nodes are free to move, and each node can act as a host or router. Routing is one of the most challenging tasks because nodes move frequently. Therefore, in MANET, the routing protocol plays an important role in selecting the best route to efficiently transmit data from the source node to the destination node. In this paper, the best path with efficient Ad Hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is chosen as the routing mechanism. The properties of each node are categorized using firefly algorithm. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is trained as per these properties and hence in case if the gray hole node is detected within the route, it is identified and the route between the source and the destination is changed. At last, to show how effectively the proposed AODV with Firefly and ANN works is computed in terms of performance parameters. The throughput and PDR is increased by 4.13 % and 3.15 % compared to the network which is affected by gray hole attack. The energy up to 44.02 % has been saved.
