Opis

The core aim of this research is to present "ANTMANET" a novel routing protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc networks. The proposed protocol aims to reduce the network overhead and delay introduced by node mobility in MANETs. There are two techniques embedded in this protocol, the "Local Zone" technique and the "North Neighbour" Table. They take advantage of the fact that the nodes can obtain their location information by any means to reduce the network overhead during the route discovery phase and reduced the size of the routing table to guarantee faster convergence. ANTMANET is a hybrid Ant Colony Optimisation-based (ACO) routing algorithm. ACO is a Swarm Intelligence (SI) routing algorithm that is well known for its high-quality performance compared to other distributed routing algorithms such as Link State and Distance Vector.
