Abstract:
With ad hoc networks having much more advantages over other types of networks in a mobile world, this made it an attractive field for many protocols. In this paper, we propose an implementation of the Q-Routing protocol working over a mobile ad hoc network to enhance the performance of the packets sent and received. However, to implement a protocol in such an environment, many factors need to be taken into consideration, such as: exploration and learning over time to adapt to network changes. We used these factors in the protocol agents to update the routing tables found on each node accordingly. Our protocol has shown to perform well in MANETs as the load increased.
