An Energy-Efficient Multipath Routing Algorithm Based on Ant Colony Optimization for Wireless Sensor Networks

An energy-efficient ACO-based multipath routing algorithm (EAMR) is proposed for energy-constrained wireless sensor networks. EAMR is a hybrid multipath algorithm, which is reactive in path discovery and proactive in route maintenance. EAMR has improvement and innovation in the ant packet structure,...
