A routing algorithm of ant colony algorithm for wireless sensor network

Abstract

Based on the special demand of energy control for wireless sensor network, this paper proposed an on-demand multi-path and power-saving ant colony algorithm. The algorithm balances the energy consumption and creates small network latency. It synthesizes the concept of ACO and AODV protocol. It can find multiple transmission paths from sources to the goal by parallel search. The experimental results show that the algorithm is more effective and available than MACO and ACA in routing cost and energy dissipation.
