Effects of Ant Colony and Fastest Path Routing Algorithms on Performance Improvement of Novel Cognitive Methods

This paper demonstrates the usage of novel cognitive methods that improve the throughput of a WIMAX network by minimizing packet loss. The effects of the ant colony and fastest path routing algorithms on the throughput are investigated. a combination of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) spectrum sharing techniques is used. Data packet loss rate is minimized for real-Time voice and video packet transmissions. a unicast mobile multimedia network with improved system throughput is provided with both routing methods, even for a small node count.
