摘要：A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes which communicate over radio. These networks have an important advantage; they do not require any existing infrastructure or central administration. Therefore, mobile ad-hoc networks are suitable for temporary communication links. This flexibility, however, comes at a price: communication is difficult to organize due to frequent topology changes. In this paper we present a new on- demand routing algorithm for mobile, multi-hop ad-hoc networks. The algorithm is based on ant algorithms which are a class of swarm intelligence. Ant algorithms try to map the solution capability of ant colonies to mathematical and engineering problems. The main goal in the design of the algorithm was to reduce the overhead for routing. Furthermore, we compare the performance of AODV with varying the different parameters through simulation results in ns2 [1].
