Priority and compound rule based routing using ant colony optimization

Abstract

The integration of most of the network components such as the Internet, cellular, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, sensor networks, is mandatory for present engineering application. Heterogeneous Network Architecture will suit such major services like warfare and healthcare, which provides integration of wired, wireless, wireless mesh, and sensor devices with internet connectivity. Data transmission in such heterogeneity networks renders ineffective communication, which is also complicated due to higher percentage of pocket loss, lesser response time, and traffic. In this paper, we proposed an optimal congestion free routing, called priority and compound rule based routing protocol. This proposed routing will suit for both wired as well as wireless environment, and this also will provide congestion free path(s) in single path routing and multipath routing.
