| Summary: | A Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that temporarily establish a network without centralized administration or fixed infrastructure. Designing the routing of adequate routing protocols is a major challenge given the constraints of battery, bandwidth, multi-hop, mobility, and enormous network sizes. Recently, Swarm Intelligence (SI) methods have been employed in MANET routing due to similarities between swarm behavior and routing. These methods are applied to obtain ideal solutions that ensure flexibility. This paper implements an enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) algorithm that improves MANET performance by enhancing the routing protocol. The proposed algorithm selects the stable path by considering multiple metrics such as short distance, delay of the path, and energy consumption. The simulation results illustrate that the EPSO outperforms other existing approaches regarding throughput, PDR, and number of valid paths. |
