Abstract

Many algorithms have been proposed in the area of Mobile Adhoc Networks that have been inspired from the behavior of nature inhabitated species such as ants, bees, termites and birds due to their decentralized and self configuring route search to their food. In this paper, a novel Ant Colony Inspired Energy efficient OLSR (AC-OLSR) routing protocol has been proposed. Link quality approach has been amalgamated while computing pheromone concentration which will improve network performance in a wireless scenario. Our proposed algorithm has been simulated on NS2 simulator and shows better performance as compared to existing routing protocols. The proposed approach has been compared with other existing proactive routing protocol such as Energy Efficient OLSR and AntNet routing protocol. In the proposed paper heuristic component while calculating pheromone concentration is also added to deterministic approaches using ETX metric of the link to further alleviate the performance of the network. It has been found that packet delivery ratio has been improved significantly in the proposed routing protocol because best path has been chosen over other paths considering lossless transmission in a wireless scenario. Although routing overhead of AC-OLSR is slightly higher but that can be compensated by reduced energy cost of the network.
