Abstract :
An ant-based routing algorithm is a class of ant colony optimization algorithms which are inspired by the behavior of ants in nature. An efficient ant-based routing algorithm (EAR) for mobile ad-hoc networks has been proposed in order to support multi-path routes and to reduce overheads by managing ants efficiently. In this paper, the performances of EAR and AntHocNet are analyzed to see how these algorithms perform when transmission rate increases. The simulation results show that EAR provides less overhead, resulting faster end-to-end delivery of data as the transmission rate increases and node mobility increases.
