Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm, TBRA (Termites- Based Routing Algorithm), for use in three- dimensional mobile wireless sensor networks. The TBRA is a routing selection strategy based on the concept of the ant colony optimization algorithm. It is difficult to establish and maintain optimal routes in a 3D space because the RSSI, energy of sensor nodes, vary with time. This routing selection strategy can be used for various traffic conditions by measuring and counting the average energy of nodes, RSSI value. The main contribution of this study combines ACO algorithm and Durkin´s propagation model to derive an efficient routing scheme for wireless sensor networks in a 3D space.
