Ant colony based routing algorithms are known to
grantee the packet delivery, but they suffer from the huge overhead
of control messages which are needed to discover the route. In this
paper we utilize the network nodes positions to group the nodes
in connected clusters. We use clustersheads only on forwarding
the route discovery control messages. Our simulations proved that
the new algorithm has decreased the overhead dramatically without
affecting the delivery rate.
