Rational Swarm Routing for Mobile Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks

Tags:
switching

Overview Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANET) require dynamic routing schemes for adequate performance. This paper introduces a new dynamic routing scheme based upon stigmergy. In a similar manner to ant-colony based dynamic routing protocols, this scheme is able to respond to link quality changes after a path is established. However, load balancing is not obtained through probabilistic routing (as in ant-colony based protocols) but through the exploitation of available information on forwarding choices by intermediate nodes. The paper present the results obtained from an NS-2 testbed, in which performance comparisons with AODV and Ant-Colony based protocols are highly promising.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Trusting people and self-organisation

Observation of ant colony behaviour also reveals similarly co-operative actions with thousands of individuals supporting and leveraging the collective behaviour to the common good. Despite numerous protestations and examples of ant colonies, bees...

Butler on: Collaboration

This is great in terms of improving automation, and the routing of information. On the other hand, ad hoc, unstructured collaboration can dramatically improve personal productivity, reducing the time spent searching for information or chasing answers.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
