A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a non-centralised, multihop, wireless network that
lacks a common infrastructure. It therefore needs self-organisation. The MANETs are
autonomous, adaptive and dynamic. In MANETs, multihop routing allows multiple routes
between the source and destination to be established. This study speaks about a bio-
inspired routing protocol for these networks based on AntHocNet. The design for the
protocol lies in a heuristic, based on swarm intelligence, which takes into account the limited …

Bio-inspired routing protocol uses a principle of swarm intelligence, which finds the optimal
path to the destination in a distributed and autonomous way in dynamic environments, so
that it can maximize routing performances, reduce control overhead, and recover a path
failure quickly according to the change of network topology. In this paper, we propose a bio-
inspired routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme uses a function
of overhearing via wireless media in order to obtain the routing information without …
