Arpm: Agent-based Routing Protocol For Manet

摘要

Routing problem in MANETs has become challenging because of the advances in mobile wireless technologies and infrastructures. Mobile Agent's (MA) technologies are ideal for such environments, it offers a promising solution of routing problems, where it can reduce network traffic and maintain load balancing, and thereby increasing routing performance. In this paper, we have proposed an agent-based Routing Protocol for MANET (ARPM) that is a multi-agent-based protocol, which makes nodes in the network topology-aware. ARPM has been implemented and tested using QualNet simulator.
