  3. Introduction: MANETs (1) Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are increasing in popularity. Possible applications: Networks amongst defense and civil security staff and their communication devices. Traffic and mobility applications. Domotica and residential networks. Robotics and sensor networks.

  4. Introduction: MANETs (2) Routing protocols should resolve: Lack of fixed infrastructure. Dynamic topologies. Multi-hop. Bandwidth-constrained. Energy-constrained operation. Security issues. Need for scalabability.

  5. Introduction: ant routing (1) Ant routing is a scheme for routing inspired by the behavior of real ants: Ants (control packets) collect information about the network conditions and are used to update and maintain routing tables. Based on swarm intelligence, used to solve complex optimization problems.

  11. W_AntNetImplementation details This project involves simulating ant routing protocol for MANETs and comparing its performance with other protocols, like AODV or DSR. Protocol implemented: W_AntNet Derived from AntNet. Neighbor management added. Simulation environment: NS-2

  12. W_AntNetAlgorithm basic description FAs are generated regularly at every node. Each FA: Stores address and arrival time of visited nodes. Chooses next hop. Cycle detection. Once at destination, generates BA. Each BA: Travels same path in opposite direction. Updates routing table and local traffic model. Neighbor management.

  28. Conclusions High overhead due to route maintenance: Node queues congested. Packets dropped. W_AntNet performance is poor compared to AODV or DSR. FA generation rate is a key parameter. Ant routing well suited for fixed networks with high capacity channels.

  29. Future work Further simulations using another simulator. Try a reactive approach. Do some real benchmarks. Study energy related issues.
