Abstract

Energy constraint has become the major challenge for designing wireless sensor networks. Network lifetime is considered as the most substantial metric in these networks. Routing technique is one of the best choices for maintaining network lifetime. This paper demonstrates implementation of new methodology of routing in WSN using firefly swarm intelligence. Energy consumption is the dominant issue in wireless sensor networks routing. For network cutoff avoidance while maximize net lifetime energy exhaustion must be balanced. Balancing energy consumption is the key feature for rising nets lifetime of WSNs. This routing technique involves determination of optimal route from node toward sink to make energy exhaustion balance in network and in the same time maximize network throughput and lifetime. The proposed technique show that it is better than other some routing techniques like Dijkstra routing, Fuzzy routing, and ant colony (ACO) routing technique. Results demonstrate that the proposed routing technique has beat the three routing techniques in throughput and extend net lifetime.
