An Ant Colony Optimization Competition Routing Algorithm for WSN

This paper develops Ant Colony optimization (ACO) algorithm and applies it to energy control and congestion control on wireless sensor network route. The pheromone and the energy of the node are combined to affect the pheromone consent ration in optimization path, which can avoid network congestion and fast consume of energy of individual node. Then it can prolong the lifecycle of the whole network Experimental results show that the ACO algorithm greatly reduces the energy consumption.
