A new ant colony-based routing algorithm with unidirectional link in UV mesh communication wireless network

Abstract

Aiming at the unidirectional links coming from nodes with different transmitting power and the obstacle blocking in UV mesh wireless communication network and the traditional ant colony algorithm only supporting bidirectional links, a new ant colony based routing algorithm with unidirectional link in UV mesh communication wireless network is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the overall network connectivity and the survivability by supporting the combination of unidirectional link and bidirectional link.
