It has been shown through simulation that DFES-AODV and FSARSA-AODV exhibit similar performance. However, FSARSA-AODV still requires empirical adjustment of several functional parameters. In contrast to FSARSA-AODV, DFES-AODV is selfadaptive. In conclusion, dynamic fuzzy logic is more appropriate than reinforcement learning for adaptive energy aware routing in MANETs.
