Ant Colony Optimization for Channel Assignment Problem in a Clustered Mobile Ad Hoc Network

摘要：

　　This paper presents an ant colony optimization (ACO) method as a method for channel assignment in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), where achieving high spectral efficiency necessitates an efficient channel assignment.The suggested algorithm is intended for graph-coloring problems and it is specifically tweaked to the channel assignment problem in MANET with a clustered network topology.A multi-objective function is designed to make a tradeoff between maximizing spectral utilization and minimizing interference.We compare the convergence behavior and performance of ACO-based method with obtained results from a grouping genetic algorithm (GGA).
