    Mobile AntNet Routing for Mobile Ad hoc Network
    (Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering (IOSR-JECE), 2015) Javeed Basha Haroon, Abdulkadir Ahmed, Olalekan Ogunbiyi
    Routing in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) still pose great challenges which need to be addressed. Whenever a routing algorithm is developed, it should address the need of improving the quality of service (QoS) requirements, these requirements ranges from throughput, less overhead, packet loss, security etc. This paper focus on designing a nature inspired routing algorithm called the Mobile AntNet for Mobile Ad hoc network. Much of the previous implementations of this algorithm have been revolving around the fixed networks and improving the QoS for fixed networks. The AntNet algorithm was implemented in mobile ad hoc network using NS-2.34 simulator, the implemented algorithm was compared with other traditional routing algorithms in terms of node transmission range, node mobility, number of nodes and node failure. Multiple simulations were performed to obtain a statistical output by varying the different simulation parameters and graphs were plotted against three important performance metrics: throughput, routing overhead and end-to-end delay. Simulation result shows the performance of the designed algorithm in terms of throughput, packet loss and node failure.
