ROUTING IN MOBILE ADHOC NETWORKS (MANETS) USING FUZZY AIDED ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION (ACO) TECHNIQUE

In this work, a routing algorithm suitable for Mobile Adhoc Networks is proposed. MANETS are unstable nature when network mobility increases. Path selection process is a critical task in routing algorithms. The proposed work addresses this problem by employing Ant Colony Optimization and Fuzzy logic technques while developing the routing algorithm. The path information by ants will be given to FIS(Fuzzy Interference system ) in order to compute the available path’s score values, based on this score value from the FIS system the optimal paths will be selected. Hence, the routing problem can be solved more effectively by achieving high successful path delivery rate rather than the conventional routing algorithms. This technique is implemented and the results are compared to the existing algorithms. The performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed using distance, power consumption etc..,
