Abstract

Routing represents a pivotal concern in the context of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) owing to its divergence from traditional network routing paradigms. The inherent dynamism of the WSN environment, coupled with the scarcity of available resources, engenders considerable challenges for industry and academia alike in devising efficient routing strategies. Addressing these challenges, a viable recourse is applying heuristic search methodologies to ascertain the best path in WSNs. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a well-established heuristic algorithm that has demonstrated notable advancements in routing contexts. This paper presents an altered routing protocol that is based on ant colony optimization. In this protocol, we incorporate the inverse of the distance between nodes and their neighbours in the probability equations of ACO, along with considering pheromone levels and residual energy. These formulation modifications facilitate the selection of the most suitable candidate for the subsequent hop, effectively minimising the average energy consumption across all nodes in each iteration. Furthermore, in this protocol, we iteratively fine-tune ACO's parameter values based on the outcomes of several experimental trials. The experimental analysis is conducted through a diverse set of network topologies, and the results are compared against well-established ACO algorithms and routing protocols. The efficacy of the proposed protocol is assessed based on various performance metrics, encompassing throughput, energy consumption, network lifetime, energy consumption, the extent of data transferred over the network, and the length of paths traversed by packets. These metrics collectively provide a comprehensive evaluation of the performance attainments of the routing protocols.
