Dynamic clustering based routing is proposed to achieve good performance via adaptive algorithms. The generalized Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is applied to increase the reliable lifespan of sensor nodes with energy constraints. Each sensor node is modeled as an artificial ant and dynamic routing is modeled as ant foraging. The ant pheromone is released when an energy efficient channel from the source to sink is secured.
