Context-aware routing protocol based on PSO for mobile WSN

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are extensively used in several fields, especially for monitoring and gathering physical information. The sensor nodes could be static or mobile depending on the application requirements. Mobility arises major challenges especially in routing. It radically changes the routing path, while the WSNs peculiarities make reuse of designed protocols difficult especially for other types of mobile networks. In this paper, we present a Context-Aware routing protocol based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) in random waypoint (RWP) based dynamic WSNs. Finally, a case study of forest fire detection is presented as a validation of the proposed approach.
