Abstract

This research paper is study of ACO based routing protocols proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks by various researchers. The protocols comprehensively compared via this research paper are: Ant Colony Based Energy Aware Multipath Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks (ACO-EAMRA), Improvised Ant Colony Routing (IACR), Efficient Minimum Cost Bandwidth Constrained Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (EMCBR) and AntChain Protocol. Extensive study on simulations are made on different scenarios and simulation time on Random Way Point Mobility Model for all protocols. The results show that overall IACR is best among all the other protocols to the extent about 30-40% better in terms of Packet Delivery, Energy Efficiency and maintaining overall robustness and scalability of Wireless Sensor Networks.
