routing in manet with ant colony algorithm

a mobile ad-hoc network MANET is a collection of mobile nodes which communicate over radio. These networks have an important advantage they do ot require any existinginfrastructure or central administration therefor mobile ad-hoc networks are suitable for temporary communicaiton links this flexibility however comes at a price: communication is difficult to organize due to frequent topology changes. in this paper we focus on the routing problem in MANET with ant colony algorithm in part one we overview routing protocols in MANET AND COMPARE THEIR performance . in part two introduce swarm intelligent approaches for solving routing problem in network such as ant Net,ant -based control ABC ant colonybased routing algorithm ARA.
