一种基于蚁群优化的WSN拥塞控制算法*

In view of packet loss and excessive energy consumption due to congestion in wireless sensor networks,this paper proposed a congestion control algorithm based on ant colony optimization to reduce congestion scale and improve network performance in WSN.The algorithm was divided into three stages in the given time,and fully considering the congestion status of WSN from source node to sink.The algorithm could timely eliminate congestion and find a best path.Simulation results show that the algorithm can achieve good network performance about network throughput,packet loss,delay and energy consumption.
