Abstract

The wireless interfaces in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) have limited transmission range and traffic is relayed through intermediate nodes to ensure intra node communication. Routing plays an important role in network reliability and performance. MANET’s characteristics like mobility and resource constraints adversely affect routing performance. A new MANET routing method based on Ad hoc On- demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Ant Colony Optimization is proposed in this paper. Ad hoc networks can emulate achievement of complex solutions with limited intelligence and individual capacity as seen in ant communities. A new link quality metric enhances AODV routing algorithm to enable it to handle link quality to evaluate routes between nodes.
