Abstract
Mobile ad-hoc networks
(MANETs) are infrastructure-less networks where no
central network management exists, composed of mobile
nodes over wireless links. Network topology in MANETs is
subject to continuous and abrupt change. The highly
dynamic topology, limited bandwidth availability and
energy constraints make the routing problem a
challenging one. The mobile agent technology offers a
promising solution of routing problems, where it is used
to implement more flexible and decentralized network
architecture. In this paper, we study the performance of
the routing process using mobile agent concepts, by
designing a routing protocol that uses the mobile agent
techniques in routing decision. ARPM (Agent based
Routing Protocol for MANETs) is a multi-agent based
protocol, which makes nodes in the network topology
aware. ARPM performance is compared with the standard
protocols DSR (Dynamic Source Routing), AODV (Ad hoc On
Demand Distance Vector routing), OLSR (Optimized Link
State Routing), and ZRP (Zone Routing Protocol). ARPM
has been implemented using QualNet simulator.
