MALBACO - a new Multi-Agent Load Balanced Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for MANETs
Ditipriya Sinha, Rituparna Chaki · 2009
Mobile ad hoc networks do not have any fixed topology. Routing in such network is very challenging and difficult due to the mobility of the nodes. Ant colony optimization is an efficient optimization technique used to find the optimum shortest route in the adhoc network. This paper describes a new routing algorithm for MANETs using Ant Colony Optimization technique. Special attention has been given to the load balancing and congestion control in network. Simulation work is presently being undertaken to evaluate the performance of the model.
