Abstract Many of the existing proposed routing protocols could not give well stability and reliability and not fit in the needs for Ad hoc network. Because of the problems of great overhead and the lower stability in Ad hoc routing technology, an improved ant colony algorithm is proposed to study an ant-based Ad hoc routing protocol. Compared with the AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector)routing protocol which is a very mature strategy in Ad hoc study, simulation results show that by bringing the node colony function into play，the improved ant colony routing protocol can reduce the end-to-end delay and the routing overhead and increase the packet delivery rate. The network performances such as the stability and the efficiency are improved effectively.
