Abstract
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is comprised of mobile hosts that can communicate with each other using wireless links. In this paper we present a novel routing algorithm called GPSAL (GPS/ant-like routing algorithm) which is based on the GPS (Global Positioning System) and mobile software agents modeled on ants for routing in ad hoc networks. We compare our algorithm to the location-aided routing (LAR) (Ko and Vaidya 1998) algorithm for MANET which is also based on GPS. Simulation results show that our algorithm has less overhead than LAR
