An Hybrid Ant Routing Algorithm for Reliable Throughput Using MANET

The field of wireless networks is an important and challenging area. In this paper, routing in mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) using ant algorithm has been described. ANTHOCNET algorithm makes use of ant-like mobile agents which sample the nodes between source and destination. In MANET, each and every node has an additional task by which it can forward packets between two or more nodes. The routing protocol in MANET should be capable of adjusting between two or more nodes. The routing protocol should be capable of adjusting between high mobility, low bandwidth to low mobility, and high bandwidth scenario. AODV protocol is being estimated for higher throughput. By varying the time cycle, throughput and packet efficiency can be increased. When throughput is increased, efficiency is also high. This also improves the quality of services.
