Abstract(in English) Recently, biomimetics or bio-inspired methods that utilize and model the living phenomena in various fields have been attracting attention. It is known that true slime mold adaptively constructs routes connecting multiple baits by changing the number of tubes according to the amount of body. On the other hand, on ad hoc networks that consist only of wireless terminals (nodes), since the stability of network is low and the available bandwidth of each link is small, it is possible to improve the robustness of routes by using multiple routes. In this paper, by applying physarum solver (PS), which is a mathematical model of slime mold behavior, to ad hoc networks, we propose a load balancing routing method. The proposed method can adaptively change the number of routes according to the communication capacities between nodes and the data size to be transmitted. The quantitative evaluations by computer simulation show that the proposed method can adaptively find single or multiple routes between source and destination nodes according to the network capacity, transmitted data size and battery level of nodes. The results also show that the method can dynamically find multiple routes when the network capacity temporally changes. It is thus concluded that the proposed method efficiently works on a dynamically changing network such as ad hoc networks.
