Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Centralized approach for routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) lack scalability and fault-tolerance. In contrast, Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques provide an effective solution to this problem through distributed approach to the adaptive routing. On trhis note, proposed book clearly distinguishes between principles of traditional protocols and SI based routing protocols. Secondly, it explains Quality of Service (QoS) parameters and how SI based routing protocols achieves QoS demands of the applications. The proposed title also illustrates quantitative and qualitative analysis of some SI based routing protocols.
