Abstract

Recent developments in the last few years have shown rapid growth in wireless communication technologies. When a Network is established across the given geographical distance, the biggest issue arises about its effective sharing among all the stakeholders. Nowadays, the internet laid network parses across the globe. Therefore, sharing among nations is required to be distributed without any loss to anyone operating the network. It can be achieved by several other greedy based network sharing approaches, which compute the network business along with the routing information and collectively affects the throughput. To avoid this, we present a novel approach of using the Genetic Algorithm-based Ant Colony Optimization on heavily trafficked networks to improve network performance. We are further predicting the future network traffic and accordingly scheduling the network routing mechanism. Our experiment on NS2 simulator proves that the results are far better than other presented methods of greedy-based computations.
