Abstract :
This paper describes a new routing algorithm over a network composed of a mesh of HAPs. It is based on ant colonies behavior. In order to explore the network the used model utilizes a particular type of packet, called ant packet, which is a simple software mobile agent that is useful for collecting info for the QoS routing problem. In particular, this proposed algorithm focuses on path length minimization and on traffic load distribution on the HAPs network.
