Summary:
Biomimetics, imitation models based on the body structures and behavior of living organisms to solve complex problems, have been studied in various fields. In distributed network fields such as ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks, behavior of variety of true slime mold, which can construct multipath flow networks based on the amount of body, has been studied. Ad hoc networks only consist of mobile terminals~(nodes) that can relay packets along with established routes. However, their link relations and available bandwidth of the nodes dynamically change due to the node mobility. Thus, there remains an issue for practical use of ad hoc networks since it is difficult to establish stable routes under such environments. In this paper郢晢ｽｻ髫ｧ・｣e propose an adaptive load balancing routing that adaptively diversifies the transmission paths based on the available bandwidth, the residual battery, and the transmission data size by applying a mathematical model of slime mold routing called physarum solver. We confirm the effectiveness of its adaptive behavior under dynamic environments using computer simulations.
