Routing in Wireless Sensor Network Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

This paper presents an intelligent approach for modeling Routing in wireless sensor networks. A new routing protocol based on Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is introduced in this paper for solving delay-energy trade-off problem. In the proposed approach every food source represents a possible and feasible candidate path between each original and destination node. The positions of food sources are modified by some artificial bees in the population in order to discover the places of food sources. The food source with the highest nectar value seems to be a solution which is evaluated by the fitness function. Obtained simulation results show that the proposed protocol can achieve good trade-off between routing delay and energy.
