A Multipath Routing Protocol Based on Clustering and Ant Colony Optimization for Wireless Sensor Networks

For monitoring burst events in a kind of reactive wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a multipath routing protocol (MRP) based on dynamic clustering and ant colony optimization (ACO) is proposed.. Such an approach can maximize the network lifetime and reduce the energy consumption. An important attribu...
