    Abstract

    Power consumption is one of the most important problems for wireless sensor networks because of the battery limitation in each sensor. This paper presents an ant colony optimization- (ACO-) based routing algorithm to reduce power consumption. First, a grade table is built and referred to generate several possible routing paths. Then, the ACO explores these paths to reduce the power consumption of the nodes. The simulations indicate that the proposed algorithm obtains more balanced transmission among the nodes and reduces the power consumption of the routing.
