In Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), the existing routing protocol may result in overhead and increased collisions during data transmission.In order to overcome this issue, in this paper, we propose to design a cooperation based directional routing protocol in MANET.Initially the source nodes discover neighbors by constructing the Directional Neighbour Table (DNT).Then the node with minimum transfer time is selected as best relay node.The transfer time is estimated using bio-inspired algorithm.Once the relay nodes are selected, the source node follows the Adaptive Directional Monitoring MAC (ADMMAC) protocol to transmit the data to the destination.In this technique, the nodes use the co-operative transmission mode when it requires transmitting the data packet faster.By simulation results, we show that the proposed technique minimizes the overhead and enhances the efficiency.
