A-Routing for intermittently connected mobile ad hoc networks

The Wireless and the Mobile Networks appear to provide a wide range of applications. Following these, the Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) aid in wide development of many applications. The achievement of the real world applications are attained through effective routing. The Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad hoc Network (ICMANET) is a sparse network where a full connectivity is never possible. ICMANET is a disconnected MANET and is also a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) that sustains for higher delays. The routing in a disseminated network is a difficult task. A new routing scheme called A-Routing (AR) is been proposed with a motto of achieving optimal result in delivering the data packet towards the destined node. A-Routing is proposed with the basis of Ant Colony Optimization technique (ACO). The routing in ICMNAET is done by means of Ant routing protocol. This paper enchants a novel routing methodology for data transmission in ICMANET.
