… for routing in mobile ad hoc networks based on ideas from the Nature-inspired Ant Colony
Optimization framework. … Ant-AODV [25] is a hybrid algorithm combining ants with the basic …

… This research work proposes a new protocol that modifies Ad-hoc On-demand Distance
Vector (AODV) protocol to improve its performance using Ant Colony algorithm. The mobility …

… to optimize the existing ANTFree Mobile Ad-Hoc Routing Protocols, we … AODV then we
have applied the ACO algorithm to AODV without removing or affecting any of pre-existing AODV …

… of ant routing for static and dynamic network topologies. We also compare the performance
of ant routing with AODV and DSR for ad hoc networks. The simulations show that the ant …

… the performance of ant colony based routing algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) …
The experiments prove that they have higher delivery ratio compared to AODV (Ad hoc On-…
