Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks are distinguished from traditional networks. Existing routing algorithms are not effective in supporting such networks. In this paper, a novel quantum-inspired ant-based routing (QABR) algorithm for WSNs is proposed, and it has rapid convergence and good global search ability. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can find rapidly the optimal path from source node to destination node, and prolong the networks lifetime.
