A mobile agent routing algorithm based on improved genetic algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

For the energy consumption problem of wireless sensor networks, a mobile agent routing based on improved genetic algorithm (MARIGA) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm introduces a new crossover strategy and mutation operator to effectively control the premature stagnation in the convergence process. The simulation results indicate that the MARIGA algorithm can effectively improve the routing quality of mobile agent and the energy consumption of network.
