Swarm Intelligent Routing Solution for Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, the authors have developed a Swarm Routing Protocol that uses Swarm Autonomous Routing Algorithm (SARA) for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and developed WSN prototypes (accelerometer and temperature) by embedding SARA into COTS devices. SARA provides intelligent routing solution for MANET where the rebroadcasting node (COTS device) is chosen from among the neighbor nodes by comparing the pheromones associated with each neighbor. Nodes learn by modifying the pheromone values associated with neighbor nodes when a packet is received.
