Reliable Ant Colony Routing Algorithm for Dual-Channel Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

الملخص EN

For the problem of poor link reliability caused by high-speed dynamic changes and congestion owing to low network bandwidth in ad hoc networks, an ant colony routing algorithm, based on reliable path under dual-channel condition (DSAR), is proposed.

First, dual-channel communication mode is used to improve network bandwidth, and a hierarchical network model is proposed to optimize the dual-layer network.

Thus, we reduce network congestion and communication delay.

Second, a comprehensive reliable path selection strategy is designed, and the reliable path is selected ahead of time to reduce the probability of routing restart.

Finally, the ant colony algorithm is used to improve the adaptability of the routing algorithm to changes of network topology.

Simulation results show that DSAR improves the reliability of routing, packet delivery, and throughput.
