A Novel Rumor Routing for Wireless Sensor Network

Rumor routing is a routing protocol based on query for wireless sensor networks, which selects next hop randomly during establishing path and the path may not be optimal and may be loop. So this paper puts forward a novel rumor routing (NRR), which bases on ant colony optimization and can resolve the loop route that established by rumor routing, and has good convergence, comparing to rumor routing, NRR has more probability to establish complete route, and can save more energy.
