AMTR : The ANT Based QOS Aware Multipath Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm for MANETs
Debajit Sensarma, Koushik Majumder · 2013
Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self organized by a collection of mobile nodes, which are interconnected by multi hop wireless paths.Providing QoS support in MANETs is an active research area, basically for supporting real time applications that are based upon interaction between the routing scheme and QoS provisioning.The goal of QoS aware routing is to achieve more deterministic behavior of the network i.e. a stable path, so that information carried by the network can be delivered in an uninterrupted fashion and for better resource utilization.In this paper we have developed AMTR, a new ant based QoS aware on-demand multipath routing algorithm for MANETs with better route failure management and which will be highly adaptive and energy efficient.
