Abstract
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a collection of
mobile nodes, which communicate over radio. These networks
have an important advantage; they do not require any
existing infrastructure or central administration. Therefore,
mobile ad-hoc networks are suitable for temporary
communication links. This flexibility, however, comes at a
price: communication is difficult to organize due to frequent
topology changes. In this paper we propose on-demand
routing algorithm for mobile, multi-hop ad-hoc networks. The
algorithm is based on ant algorithms, which are a class of
swarm intelligence. The main goal in the design of the
algorithm is to reduce the overhead for routing. Furthermore,
in this paper the performance of AODV protocol is analyzed
by varying mobility and node density parameters through
simulation of results ns2 simulator.
