Forwarding Node

Network lifetime is one of the most prominent barriers in deploying wireless sensor networks for large-scale applications because these networks employ sensors with nonrenewable scarce energy resources. Sensor nodes dissipate most of their energy in complex routing mechanisms. To cope with limited energy problem, we present EASARA, an energy aware simple ant routing algorithm based on ant colony optimization. Unlike most algorithms, EASARA strives to avoid low energy routes and optimizes the routing process through selection of least hop count path with more energy. It consists of three phases, that is, route discovery, forwarding node, and route selection. We have improved the route discovery procedure and mainly concentrate on energy efficient forwarding node and route selection, so that the network lifetime can be prolonged. The four possible cases of forwarding node and route selection are presented. The performance of EASARA is validated through simulation. Simulation results demonstrate the performance supremacy of EASARA over contemporary scheme in terms of various metrics.

Energy Efficient Routing

Wireless Sensor Networks consisting of nodes with limited power are deployed to collect and distribute useful information from the field to the other sensor nodes. Energy consumption is a key issue in the sensor’s communications since many use battery power, which is limited. In this paper, we describe a novel energy efficient routing approach which combines swarm intelligence, especially the ant colony based meta-heuristic, with a novel variation of reinforcement learning for sensor networks (ARNet). The main goal of our study was to maintain network lifetime at a maximum, while discovering the shortest paths from the source nodes to the sink node using an improved swarm intelligence. ARNet balances the energy consumption of nodes in the network and extends the network lifetime. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional EEABR algorithm can obviously improve adaptability and reduce the average energy consumption effectively.

Routing Tree

Wireless sensor networks consist of hundreds or thousands of nodes with limited energy resources, and thus, efficient use of energy is necessary for these networks. Given that transmissions are the most energy-demanding operation, routing algorithms should consider efficient use of transmissions in their designs in order to extend the network lifetime. To tackle these challenges, a centralized algorithm is proposed, called improved continuous enhancement routing (ICER), for computing routing trees of refined quality, based on data aggregation while being aware of the battery energy state. Comparisons between ICER and other known solutions in the literature are performed. Our experiments show that ICER is able to ensure, on average, the survival of 99.6% and the connectivity of 99.3% of the network nodes compared to 90.2% and 72.4% in relation to the best-compared algorithm. The obtained results show that ICER significantly extends the network lifetime while maintaining the quality of the routing tree.
