Survey of Bio-Inspired Resource Allocation Algorithms and MAC Protocol Design Based on a Bio-Inspired Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.

A variety of recent studies have attempted to apply biologically inspired (bio-inspired) algorithms to distributed resource allocation problems because they promise to enable efficient decentralized communication. In this article, we discuss the key challenges of MANETs with respect to bandwidth utilization, fairness, scalability, QoS, energy efficiency, and mobility. We also provide an overview o...
