Abstract

In large-scale wireless sensor networks, efficient service discovery and data transmission mechanisms are both essential and challenging. Ant colony algorithm which has been used to resolve routing, localization and object tracing issues in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks provide a valuable solution for this problem. In this paper, we describe a novel scalable Action-based Service Discovery Protocol (ASDP) using ant colony algorithm in wireless sensor networks. ADSP can abstract the semantics information from the data via the nodes or user operation and map them into six different action sets. Then it adjusts the related parameters to satisfy with service and transmission requirements from different kinds of actions. We evaluate it against other approaches to identify its merits and limitations. The simulation results show that ASDP can maximize the network utilization. Farther experiments indicate it scales to large number of nodes.
