Abstract: |
This paper discusses a routing protocol that
uses multi-agents to reduce network congestion for a Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET). MANET is a mul-
tihop wireless network in which the network
components such as PC, PDA and mobile phones are mobile. The components can
communicate with each other without going through a server. Two kinds of
agents are en- gaged in routing. One is a Routing
Agent that collects information about network congestion as well as link
failure. The other is a Message Agent that uses this in- formation to get to
their destination nodes. MAs cor-
respond to data packets and determine their direction autonomously using an
evaluation function. We devel- oped
both a simulation environment and protocols, and performed simulations under
different conditions of mo- bility and traffic
patterns to demonstrate the effective- ness of our
approach. |
