Article Preview

Abstract:

As a new method of obtaining information and disposal pattern, wireless sensor network has been a hot issue nowadays. In this paper the network model and energy consumption model of wireless sensor network are introduced firstly. The improved inspiring factor takes energy into account. Then a parallel ant colony algorithm based on award-punishment mechanism is proposed. The experimental results show that the energy consumption and time delay of the improved algorithm are superior to energy efficient ant based routing and basic ant colony algorithm.
