Abstract :
In this paper, a new mechanism for the optimal energy consumption in WSNs is presented on the basis of the ant colony algorithm(ACA). The proposed mechanism can realise a best allocation of the energy for each single node in a given network. Simulation results show that, comparing with the directed diffusion routing method, the new routing mechanism can reduce the main nodes´ energy consumption and lengthen the whole network´s life effectively.
