Comparative Study of ANT Based Routing Algorithms in MANETs

Abstract

The concerns of the MANET environment and the nature of the cellular nodes create additional problems which outcome within the need to advance exact routing algorithms to satisfy these challenges. Swarm intelligence, a bio-prompted method, which has established to be very adaptable in other difficulty domains, has been applied to the MANET routing challenge as it types a excellent fit to the crisis. On this paper, we've got studied Ant Colony established routing algorithms i.e. Two widespread Ant founded algorithms, AntHocNet and the Ant Routing Algorithm(ARA). An intensive evaluation of ARA is implemented established onthe effect of its character routing mechanisms on its routing efficacy. The customary ARA algorithm, even though finds the shortest path between source and destination, is observed to no longer be aggressive in opposition to different MANET algorithms reminiscent of AODV in efficiency criteria.
