Abstract

Ad-hoc wireless sensor networks suffer from problems of congestion, which lead to packet loss and excessive energy consumption. In this paper, we address the issue of congestion in these networks. We propose a new routing protocol for wireless sensor networks namely Ant-based Routing with Congestion Control (ARCC), which takes into account the congestion of the network at a given instant and proposes to reduce it and then finds the optimum paths between the source and the sink nodes. Simulation results show that ARCC performs better with respect to the throughput, the number of packets lost and the priority performance.
