Design of routing protocol for WSNs based onant colony algorithm and TinyOS2.x
TinyOS2.x下基于蚁群算法的WSNs路由协议设计

In order to increase dynamic adaptability of wireless sensor networks and implement multi-path transmission of data packets, this paper designed an ant colony algorithm based routing protocol by NesC programming language based on TinyOS2. x operating system called Ant-PDRP. It used pheromones for searching path for transmitting routing packets and data packets. During the transmission of data packets, it used a punishment mechanism for balancing the energy consumpution of networks. The simulation in TOSSIM and the experiment in actual wireless sensor networks which is consist of Micaz node show that the protocol can reduce the transmission delay, prolong the lifetime of networks, and ensure the reliability of data transmission.
