Abstract

This paper presents EARA-QoS, a improved version of swarm-intelligence inspired ad hoc routing algorithm EARA introduced in [ I I ] . In this algorithm, we use the principle of swarm intelligence to evolutionally maintain routing information. The biological concept of stigmergy is used to reduce the amount of control traffic. A light-weight QoS scheme is proposed to provide service-classified traffic control. The simulation results show that this novel routing algorithm performs well in a variety of network conditions.
