Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mob ile stations communicating through wireless links, without any f ixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging pr oblem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it doesn’t take into the nodes’ energy level. To solve this problem, this paper employs Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) principles to present a new routing protocol, called HBMO-TORA algorithm. Simulation re sults show that HBMOTORA outperforms TORA in terms of packet delivery r atio, network life time, system life time and end-to-end delay.
