Abstract

End-to-end delay of routing packets from the source to destination in a Mobile ad-hoc network is a major challenge for a large number of network scientists. This paper presents a new routing approach for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) which takes into consideration the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique in conjunction with linear programming approach for minimizing the overall delay in networking environment. Ant colony optimization algorithms have all been inspired by a specific foraging behavior of colonies of the ants, which are able to explore the optimum route connecting the colony's nest with a source of food. It has been observed that the mean end-to-end delay of a link from the source to the destination is one of the most important metric for a MANET. The other metrics that have been considered and evaluated are utilization or efficiency of link, arrival rate and service rate with respect to link delay. The simulation tool used for our model is MATLAB 7. 5.
