摘要：This paper introduces an energy efficient, multi-hop routing scheme, with in-network aggregation. The technique uses clustering as the base of our algorithm. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is implemented over clustering algorithm for multi-hop routing. This reduces amount of direct transmissions from CHs to BS. The technique work in three phases: (a) clustering, (b) intra-cluster communication, (c) inter-cluster communication. LEACH is implemented for clustering, which generates randomly distributed clusters. Then cluster members send data directly to their cluster head. Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO) is used for communication between cluster-heads and base-station. Use of clustering minimizes the transmission of redundant data by data aggregation at the cluster-head level. ACO tends to search shortest and energy efficient route. The results shows lower power consumption and lower average cost (distance) and thus longer lifetime.
