摘要

Routing, the act of moving information from a source node to a destination node across any kind of network is one of the major issues in computer network literature. Ad hoc wireless networks are increasing in popularity, because of the spread of laptops, sensor devices, personal digital assistants, and other mobile electronic devices. These devices will eventually need to communicate with each other, without an adequate infrastructure to rely on. For mobile ad hoc networks, the complexity of routing increases because of its characteristics such as dynamic topology, absence of centralized authority, time varying quality of service (QoS) requirements, etc. The biggest challenge in this kind of networks is to find a path between communication end points satisfying user's QoS requirement in spite of frequent path failures because of node mobility. Recent advances in wireless technology and availability of mobile computing devices with networking capabilities have generated a lot of interest in wireless ad hoc networks for QoS-based real-time multimedia applications. In this article, we are proposing AMQR, an ant-based multiobjective on demand QoS routing algorithm for mobile ad hoc network which will be highly adaptive, efficient, scalable, and mainly reduces end-to-end delay in high mobility cases.
