Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure less, low cost, small range autonomous network where mobile devices can share the data as well as resources. If any mobile node in MANET wants to communicate with fixed host, it requires discovering an appropriate Internet gateway. A novel adaptive gateway discovery scheme using ant like mobile agent has been proposed in this paper. Ant releases a chemical substance called Pheromone. In this paper, different pheromone evaluation models are used to calculate this pheromone value. On the basis of pheromone value, traffic and route stability has been analyzed. To calculate this pheromone value, different pheromone evaluation models are discussed in this paper. These models provide an adaptive route to a gateway in different conditions. A discovery value is computed and used in selecting an optimal gateway in case of multiple gateways. The analytical study carried out in this paper validate that ant scheme with different model provides a better route discovery than existing ones. The proposed scheme also provides a stable and an optimal route between a mobile node and particular gateway.
