Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network is a special type of ad hoc networks that show many challenges, mainly related to energy consumption of sensor nodes. This paper presents the BEE-C, a hierarchical routing algorithm bioinspired by the behavior of bees for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), which aims to save energy of sensor nodes. The BEE-C is based on the LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol and LEACH-C (LEACH Centered) protocol, which are two well known protocols for WSN in the literature. The BEE-C is applied to sensor networks with continuous data dissemination. The results show gains on BEE-C compared to LEACH and LEACH-C.
