Performance Evaluation of Ant Colony Optimization in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (ACONET) and Comparison of Different Ant Systems

Deepak Bansal, Ravinder Singh Sawhney

Abstract


Ant colony optimization (ACO) is an optimization technique inspired by the exploratory behavior of ants while finding food. This paper evaluates the performance enhancement routing parameters of ACONET and two different Ant systems are compared on different parameters. The simulation tool used is MATLAB 7.5. The performance enhancement is carried out of different routing parameters and metrics like number of ants that have completed their tour (K), length of complete tour of an ant (L) and the pheromone evaporation rate in the complete tour of the ant (λ).

Keywords
