Abstract
Due to energy limitation of sensors, maximization of lifetime is the key to performance of WSN routing protocol. In this paper, we introduce a heuristic way to reduce energy consumption in WSNs routing process using Ant Colony Optimization. We introduce three Ant Colony Optimization algorithms, the Ant System, Ant Colony System and improved AS and their application in WSN routing process. The simulation results show that ACO is an effective way to reduce energy consumption and maximize WSN lifetime.
