On the Performance of the Predicted Energy Efficient Bee-Inspired Routing (PEEBR)

The Predictive Energy Efficient Bee Routing PEEBR is a swarm intelligent reactive routing algorithm inspired from the bees food search behavior. PEEBR aims to optimize path selection in the Mobile Ad-hoc Network MANET based on energy consumption prediction. It uses Artificial Bees Colony ABC Optimization model and two types of bee agents: The scout bee for exploration phase and the forager bee for evaluation and exploitation phases. PEEBR considers the predicted mobile nodes battery residual power and the expected energy consumption for packet reception and relaying of these nodes along each of the potential routing paths between a source and destination pair. In this research paper, the performance of the proposed and improved PEEBR algorithm is evaluated in terms of energy consumption efficiency and throughput compared to two state-ofart ad-hoc routing protocols: The Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector AODV and the Destination Sequenced Distance Vector DSDV for various MANET sizes.
