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.
