Autonomously intelligent WSN routing protocol based on ant colony optimization

Abstract

Telecommunication systems are becoming increasingly complex. This is due to the size and heterogeneity of such systems, as well as to the complex interaction among network elements. In telecommunication system, wireless networks have witnessed tremendous development. Presently, the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an important and challenging research area. Advancements in sensor networks enable a wide range of environmental monitoring and object tracking applications. Moreover, multihop routing in WSN is affected by new nodes constantly entering/leaving the system. Therefore, intelligent algorithms are reviewed and enhanced to tackle problems arising in WSN. Ant routing has shown an excellent performance for sensor networks. In this paper, the model and result of ant based autonomous routing algorithm for the sensor networks is presented. Certain parameters like energy level, link quality and velocity are considered while making decisions. These decisions will come up with the intelligent route for WSN.
