摘要：An adhoc network consists of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network without any infrastructure or centralized administration. Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) are self-organizing and self-configuring multihop wireless networks where the constituents of the network changes dynamically due to mobile nodes. The node in the network not only acts as hosts but also as routers that route data from/to source/destination node in the network. Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction which results in change of its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use and therefore be a router. Routing in MANET has been a challenging task ever since the wireless networks came into existence. The major reason for this is the dynamic nature of network topology due to node mobility. A number of protocols have been developed for accomplishing this task. Routing is the process of selecting paths in a network along which to send network traffic. In this paper, we have presented role of artificial intelligence in MANET by simulation study and comparison of the performance between two categories of routing protocols, table-driven (Proactive) and on-demand (Reactive) routing and swarm intelligence based routing protocol which is based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) framework, First example of routing protocol is DSDV (Destination Sequenced Distance-Vector) from the Proactive family and the second example is AODV (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) from the Reactive family and the third protocol taken under consideration is based on ACO. All the protocols were simulated by using NS-2 (network simulator-2) package. After analysing the results in the form of graph we analysed that swarm intelligence which is part of artificial intelligence plays an important role in improving the performance of routing protocols in MANET.
