Abstract
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile hosts (nodes) connected by a wireless link that forms a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. The main problem of MANETs is the design of routing protocols that allow for communication among the hosts. The dynamic nature of such networks makes this problem especially challenging. The routing problems in ad hoc networks are due to their unpredictable and dynamic nature and the few resources (speed and autonomy). Therefore, bio-inspired algorithms are widely used to design adaptive routing strategies for MANETs. In this study, the authors propose a new approach based on the bee colony for the resolution of the routing problem in MANETs. The implementation (simulation) of the method is realized by Matlab, and the authors select Random WayPoint as mobility model. To validate the work, the authors compare the proposed approach with the AODV routing protocol in terms of the Quality of Service parameters, namely, End-to-End Delay, Packet Delivery Ratio and the Normalized Overhead Load.
