Abstract:
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) were developed to support communication in an environment and places where the permanent availability of fixed infrastructure who maintains communication between different nodes cannot be assured. The first interest in mobile ad hoc networks was the simple routing between similar nodes. That’s why researchers focused more on how to make routing efficient within a single domain. In last decade, the heterogeneity of mobile nodes increased dramatically and the need of the interconnection between MANETs in many situations, such as in battlefields or disaster recovery is more important because of diversity of “intra-domain” routing protocols in each domain. For this purpose, an inter-domain routing protocol was developed to support communication across different MANETs. In many researches, the mobile agent paradigm was used to perform routing in MANET. In this paper, a highlight of the use of mobile agents in ad hoc networks, and the application of them with bees’ communication to design a reactive inter-domain routing protocol for MANETs. Our bees’ communication-based proposal will helps to enhance the efficiency of the routing protocol and to reduce the battery use of the node
