Abstract
To address the problems of low network throughput and delivery rate and high communication overhead between nodes due to frequent topology changes of flight self-assembled networks, this paper proposes a SE-AODV routing protocol optimized based on the traditional on-demand distance vector routing protocol. The new protocol takes into account the actual influencing factors such as energy and received signal strength, and combines the pheromone calculation rules of the ant colony algorithm to update the routing table, while optimizing the optimal path selection basis. Simulation results show that compared with traditional on-demand distance vector routing and EE-AODV, the new routing protocol not only shows more obvious advantages in throughput and packet delivery rate, but also reduces routing overhead, and is more suitable for scenarios where nodes are in high-speed motion.
