Abstract :
The cluster head is playing an important role in clustering wireless sensor networks. If a malicious or compromised node is elected as the cluster head, it’ll be a disaster to the whole network. In light of this, we present a trust cluster head election algorithm based on ant colony system. Experiments and results demonstrate our framework can effectively prevent the malicious nodes from being selected as a cluster head.
