A survey: Use of ACO on AODV & DSR routing protocols in MANET

Abstract

In this growing world, widespread and easily available use of mobile and portable devices such as, laptops, PDAs etc., the mobile ad hoc networks are receiving more attention for connectivity between these devices in real time. Ant Colony optimization routing is an adaptive and efficient for MANETs. Now a days, routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a very challenging and growing issue because of its dynamic nature and decentralization infrastructure. Various routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs but results in limited bandwidth, high throughput, end-toend delay, packet delivery ratio and more energy consumptions etc. An ant colony optimization algorithms have good techniques for developing different routing algorithms for MANETs. The reactive routing protocols like, AODV and DSR using Ant Colony optimization are review in this paper.

A novel bio-inspired routing algorithm based on ACO for WSNs

“…ACO is a self-motivated and decentralized system for approximate optimization which is reasonable to take care of different combinatorial issues and stochastic issue in WSNs. The primary aim of appropriateness of ACO in WSNs is the comparative attributes of both where ACO can essentially perform in unique topology, neighbourhood tasks, hubs with bounds, multiway and connection excellence [7]. ACO is motivated from the conduct of genuine ants searching for nourishment and this attribute of ant colonies is exploited in ACO algorithm [8].…”
