Abstract

This paper investigates the proposition of a new routing protocol for wireless sensor networks called TSRP (Tabu Search based Routing Protocol). In this protocol, we use the mechanism of the meta-heuristic Tabu search to route the data from the sensor (that has sense the events) to the sink. This mechanism is used to select the next sensor that will route the data based on a cost function (considering the energy and the visibility of this sensor compared to the sink). Simulation results, on a car parking application, show that TSRP prolongs the network lifetime than the existing protocols.
