Abstract :
To the characteristics of energy limitation of wireless sensor networks, the author puts forward a WSN routing algorithm based on ant algorithm by analyzing and studying WSN routing protocol. In the algorithm, the former of the pheromone not only considers the gradient factor between the nodes but also integrates with the residual energy of notes. It can economize energy and prolong the whole network life from multi-angle. Simulation test proves that the algorithm adapts to the character of wireless sensor network for non-centralized control and dynamic topology greatly. Meanwhile, it supports the routing of many paths and enhances the robustness and expansibility of the routing algorithm.
