  Abstract

Ant-based routing methods belong to a class of ant colony optimization algorithms which apply the behavior of ants in nature to routing mechanism. Since the topology of mobile ad-hoc network(MANET) changes dynamically, it is needed to establish paths based on the local information. Subsequently, it is known that routing in MANET is one of applications of ant colony optimization. In this paper, we propose a routing method, namely EPMAR, which enhances SIR in terms of route selection method and the process upon link failure. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of AntHocNet and SIR. Based on he analysis, it is proved that the proposed method provided higher packet delivery ratio and less critical link failure than AntHocNet and SIR.
