“…MCQ routing and securing the routing process in ad hoc networks have been separately studied. Recently, much work has been carried out on ACObased QoS routing algorithms for mobile ad hoc [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34] and sensor networks [35], [36], [37], [38]. However, little attention has been given to providing MCQ routing in VANETs utilising the ACO technique.…”
