Abstract

This paper introduces a new approach to routing operations in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We have developed a routing scheme and adapted ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm to this scheme to get a dynamic and reliable routing protocol. We have also implemented our approach to a small sized hardware component as a router chip to propose sensor node designers an easy handling of WSN routing operations. The chip is tested and its performance results are obtained by using Proteus simulation program. The ACO approach and its hardware implementation seem to provide a promising solution for node designers to operate routing tasks easily and effectively.
