Title
Technique to Neutralize Link Failures for an ACO-Based Routing Algorithm.
Abstract
Ad hoc networks are formed by wireless devices distributed without a predefined infrastructure using a technique called multi-hop communication. A particular case is mobile ad hoc networks, which operate within dynamic environments. This determines the necessity of paying special attention to the routing problem. Traditional techniques are not particulary efficient at making the bioinspired algorithms more relevant. These techniques are based on the analysis of the behavior of some animals, especially in the process of obtaining food. A set of these techniques or algorithms are known as the ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) which is based on the particular behavior of ants. A representative protocol from this kind is AntOR, routing protocol for mobile ad hoc hybrid, multipath and adaptive. In this article a variant of AntOR is proposed which causes the protocol AntOR-UDLR. This approach consists of replacing the link failure notification messages sent in a broadcast manner by unicast messages, which are sent to the predecessor of the node reporting the link failure, until the source of the data session is reached. The simulation results show that AntOR-UDLR improves its predecessor according to all analyzed metrics.
