Abstract
In mobile ad hoc networks (i.e. MANETs), nodes are mobile & have limited energy supply that can quickly deplete due to multi-hop routing activities, which may gradually lead to an un-operational network. In the past decade, the hunt for a reliable and energy-efficient MANETs routing protocol has been extensively researched. This paper proposes a novel Ant Colony Optimization based routing scheme for MANETs, and an its enhanced energy-constrained version, for which the routing decisions are facilitated based on the nodes’ residual energy. These protocols were evaluated through simulations using NS2, showing that ACO+AODV outperforms E-AODV, in terms of network residual energy, number of drop packets, number of received packets and end to end delay in the network, where E-AODV is an energy-aware version of AODV.
