从无线传感器网络自身的特点出发,在蚁群算法的基础上,提出了一种适合该网络的多种群蚁群优化路由算法(MACO)。该算法设计了一个新的能够均衡传输能量消耗和节点剩余能量的蚂蚁前向移动的选择概率模型,并且能得到多条优化路径,使得均衡网络的能量消耗。仿真实验表明,该算法能延长网络的生存时间,并且可以有效地缓解网络拥塞。
Based on the ant colony optimization, this paper presented a multi ant colony optimization (MACO) for WSN. The algorithm constructed a novel probabilistic model for the forward ant, and the model considered both the overhead on the route and the residual energy of the node, and could obtain multi routes. So the algorithm can balance the energy consuming in the WSN, prolong the lifetime and reduce the network congestion.
