A Study on the Energy Balance Ant-Based Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

How to make good use of the limited energy to maximize the network life span is an important problem of the wireless sensor network. The life of WSN depends on the minimum of the residual energy of its nodes. A fair energy balance routing algorithm is proposed which uses the Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm (ACO) to balance the network energy distribution and extend the network life. The proposed algorithm utilizes the dynamic adaptability and optimization capabilities of the Ant Colony to get a tread off between the shortest path and the fair energy balance. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is good at balancing the energy, and it effectively extends the span of the network life.
