Design of Routing Protocol and Node Structure in Wireless Sensor Network based on Improved Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm

Wireless sensor network is composed of many wireless sensor nodes with the same or different functions. A typical sensor node consists of four parts: sensor unit, information processing unit, wireless communication unit and energy supply unit. In this paper, the existing ant colony algorithm is analyzed, and an improved ant colony optimization algorithm is proposed. The paper presents design of routing protocol and node structure in wireless sensor network based on improved ant colony optimization algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective.
