Routing table updating by using intelligent agents

In a network, one of the important problems is making an efficient routing decision. Many studies have been carried out on making a decision and several routing algorithms have been developed. In a network environment, every node has a routing table and these routing tables are used for making routing decisions. Nowadays, intelligent agents are used to make routing decisions. Intelligent agents have been inspired by social insects such as ants. One of the intelligent agent types is self a cloning ant. In this study, a self cloning ant colony approach is used. Self cloning ants are a new synthetic ant type. This ant assesses the situation and multiplies through cloning or destroying itself. It is done by making a routing decision and finding the optimal path. This study explains routing table updating by using the self cloning ant colony approach. In a real net, this approach has been used and routing tables have been created and updated for every node.

Study on the algorithm for smart community sensor network routing with adaptive optimization via cluster head election

To reduce the uneven energy consumption for the data transmission and extend network life of intelligent community sensor network, an adaptive routing optimized algorithm for intelligent community sensor networks with cluster head election is proposed. In this algorithm, a three-dimensional clustering method adapted to the structure of intelligent community sensor network is proposed. The three-dimensional clustering method uses the cluster head election mechanism based on minimizing the total transmission loss to optimize the energy of the intelligent community sensor network. Second, an adaptive ant colony propagation method is proposed to solve the problem of intercluster data propagation after clustering. With the best path finding algorithm of ant colony algorithm, energy balance routing with lower energy loss and lower packet error rate is proposed. Finally, the simulation results show that the algorithm has better performance in reducing energy consumption and delay, improving transmission efficiency and node survival time.

F-Ant: an effective routing protocol for ant colony optimization based on fuzzy logic in vehicular ad hoc networks

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a subset of mobile ad hoc networks that provide communication services between nearby vehicles and also between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. These networks improve road safety and accident prevention and provide entertainment for passengers of vehicles. Due to the characteristics of VANET such as self-organization, dynamic nature and fast-moving vehicles, routing in this network is a considerable challenge. Swarm intelligence algorithms (nature-inspired) such as ant colony optimization (ACO) have been proposed for developing routing protocols in VANETs. In this paper, we propose an enhanced framework for ACO protocol based on fuzzy logic for VANETs. To indicate the effectiveness and performance of our proposed protocol, the network simulator NS-2 is used for simulation. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed protocol achieves high data packet delivery ratio and low end-to-end delay compared to traditional routing algorithms such as ACO and ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV).

     

The performance of a hybrid routing intelligent algorithm in a mobile ad hoc network

End-to-end delay, power consumption, and communication cost are some of the most important metrics in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) when routing from a source to a destination. Recent approaches using the swarm intelligence (SI) technique proved that the local interaction of several simple agents to meet a global goal has a significant impact on MANET routing. In this work, a hybrid routing intelligent algorithm that has an ant colony optimisation (ACO) algorithm and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is used to improve the various metrics in MANET routing. The ACO algorithm uses mobile agents as ants to identify the most feasible and best path in a network. Additionally, the ACO algorithm helps to locate paths between two nodes in a network and provides input to the PSO technique, which is a metaheuristic approach in SI. The PSO finds the best solution for a particle’s position and velocity and minimises cost, power, and end-to-end delay. This hybrid routing intelligent algorithm has an improved performance when compared with the simple ACO algorithm in terms of delay, power consumption, and communication cost.

Analysis on Extended Ant Routing Algorithms for Network Routing and Management

Advances in mobile agent research have brought in a new method for network routing, ant routing. Recently, we have derived some preliminary results regarding the agent population growth property and the jumping behavior for an ant routing algorithm. The focus was on the expected number of agents in a node. In practice, the number of agents propagating on each network channel is also critical as the network channel bandwidth is limited. In this paper, we first propose two extended ant routing algorithms, and then provide an in-depth analysis on the population growth behavior of the propagating agents for these algorithms, both at nodes (hosts) and on edges (channels) of the network.

A new and efficient ant-based heuristic method for solving the traveling salesman problem

Abstract: In this paper, we present an efficient metaheuristic approach for solving the problem of the traveling salesman. We introduce the multiple ant clans concept from parallel genetic algorithms to search solution space using different islands to avoid local minima in order to obtain a global minimum for solving the traveling salesman problem. Our simulation results indicate that the proposed novel traveling salesman problem method (called the ACOMAC algorithm) performs better than a promising approach named the ant colony system. This investigation is concerned with a real life logistics system design which optimizes the performance of a logistics system subject to a required service level in the vehicle routing problem. In this work, we also concentrate on developing a vehicle routing model by improving the ant colony system and using the multiple ant clans concept. The simulation results reveal that the proposed method is very effective and potentially useful in solving vehicle routing problems.

A Fuzzy Inference System for Increasing of Survivability and Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks

The nodes of a WSNs （wireless sensors network） are composed of small devices capable of sensing and transmitting data related to some phenomenon in the environment. These devices, named sensor nodes, have severe constraints, such as lower processing and storage capacity, and mainly they have severe constraints related to battery energy. Therefore, the developing of strategies to reduce the power consumption is one of the main challenges in WSNs, and thereby helping to increase the survivability and efficiency of these networks. This paper proposes a new approach to help multi-path routing protocols to choose the best route based on Fuzzy Inference Systems and ACO （ant colony optimization）. The Fuzzy System is used to estimate the degree of the route quality, based on the number of hops and the lowest energy level among the nodes that form the route. The ACO algorithm is used to adjust the rule base of the fuzzy system in order to improve the classification strategy of the route, and hence increasing the energy efficiency and the survivability of the network. The simulations showed that the proposal is effective from the point of view of the energy, the number of received messages, and the cost of received messages when compared against other approaches.
