An ant swarm-inspired energy-aware routing protocol for wireless ad-hoc networks

Abstract-Large wireless networks are envisioned to play increasingly important roles as more and more mobile wireless devices are available to use. In these networks, it is often the case that some critical information needs to be readily accessible by the regular nodes, requiring a careful design of the information distribution technique. In this work, we propose PeB, Periodic Broadcast, that takes advantage of periodic broadcast from the information server(s) to leave traces for nodes requesting for the information. One salient feature of the PeB scheme is its periodic broadcast schedule that maintains the freshness of the trace toward the information servers. We present our extensive investigation of the PeB scheme on cost and network dynamics.

“…In order to provide an efficient communication between MANET nodes, different routing protocols were proposed, such as proactive (i.e., OLSR and DSDV), reactive (i.e., AODV and DSR), hybrid (i.e., ZRP), hierarchal (i.e., CBRR and FSR), fault-tolerant routing protocols (i.e., FTAR, LAFTRA, and WEFTR), and energy-based routing protocols (i.e., REEP, LEO, EAAR, BFIRIP) [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Although VANET is considered as a subclass of MANET, different key factors make the routing protocols designed for MANETs not that efficient for VANETs.…”

Most recent VANETs routing protocols have neither taken into consideration security aspects nor the available resources at the mobile node. In this research, a security-aware roadside routing protocol with resource estimation methodology (SRSR_RE) for VANETs in a segmented road topology was proposed. The proposed algorithm was modelled by a distributed multi-agent system and to be installed at each road-side base-unit (RSU). The algorithm combines a congestion control unit that adopts a resource estimation mechanism with a secure-route discovery scheme. By such combination, both security and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements are guaranteed, and thus making our VANET robust against security threats besides protecting it from being congested. Compared to the insecure road-side (IRSR) and secure road-side (SRSR) protocols, extensive simulation results show the highest capability of the proposed protocol (SRSR_RE) in maximizing the secure delivery of the data packets and minimizing the end-to-end delays for VANETs with different network's factors such as nodes density, number of malicious nodes and node's buffer size.

“…Compared to other ant-based route protocols, AOER needs less memory storages and lower processing capabilities, because the structures of ants can be simplified by the specific inverse pheromone table. An energy-aware ant-based routing(EAAR) protocol is proposed in [6]. It takes into account various factors such as the power consumed in transmitting a packet and the residual battery capacity of a node, so that they can increase the battery life of the nodes by reducing the repetitive use of a subset of nodes.…”

The energy of nodes is limited in mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs). In order to extend the network lifetime, how to select the best route is a critical issue for routing protocols in MANETs. In this work, we propose the ant colony-based energy control routing (ACECR) protocol to find an optimal route by using the positive feedback character of ant colony optimization (ACO). In our ACECR protocol, the routing choice depends on not only the number of hops between nodes and the node energy, but also the average and the minimum energy of the routes. The performance of our ACECR routing protocols is evaluated in different mobility models. In addition, we do extensive simulations to study the movement characteristics of different mobility models and their effect on routing protocols. Simulation results show that ACECR has a better performance in balanced energy consumption and a longer network lifetime compared with existing protocols.
