In order to find the best path in 6G scenario, this paper suggests a directional routing approach for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) that investigates clubbing of updated Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (TSA), an updated intensification technique inspired by biology and Cross Layer Interaction (CLI). To address its previous shortcoming of trapping into local optima, updated TSA, which replicates the jet impulse and swarm actions of tunicates, has been modified. Through the use of CLI, the network density parameter is transferred between layers. In the the medium access protocol of directional antenna enabled MANETs, it is suggested that the directional monitoring time, optional handshake, and data fragment length be changed to lessen load on the routing protocol. Simulation results demonstrate that, when compared to competing proposals, Bio inspired algorithm and Cross layering blending-based routing approaches in MANETs yield better results.
