Abstract

This paper evaluates a self-organizing routing protocol for Ad Hoc network, called the NEUron Routing ALgorithm (NEURAL). NEURAL has been designed taking into account the learning and self-organizing abilities of the brain. More precisely, it was inspired by the synapses process between neurons, when a signal is propagated. Basically, the most significant characteristic of NEURAL is the uniform distribution of the information around the nodeýs location based on the current changes in its neighborhood. Using a 2-hop acknowledgment mechanism, local information is monitored in order to be used for route selection method, classification procedures and learning algorithms.
