Study And Comparison Of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Using Ant Colony Optimization 1

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network with or without fixed infrastructure. Nodes move freely and arrange themselves randomly. Since MANETs are highly dynamic in nature, either of multicasting or broadcasting strategies can be adopted at different scenarios. Using Ant colony optimization, the performance of mobile ad-hoc networks has improved in many ways. In this paper Ad-hoc On-Demand Vector and Mobile Ad-hoc Network using Hybrid Swarm Intelligence protocols have been taken to compare their performance. By the simulation results we will see that Mobile Ad-hoc Network using Hybrid Swarm Intelligence gives better performance with lower delay and lower overhead
