Abstract:In this work, we present a new nature-inspired cross-layer routing protocol named ACO-based MAC-aware routing protocol (ACOMAR). An enhancement of time division multiple access (TDMA) algorithm is proposed where slots allocation algorithm considers the geographical distance between nodes and the sink. The nodes that are far away from the sink have better chance to be scheduled first. This strategy will result in more efficiency than a usual random TDMA schedule. This algorithm uses a metric based on the pherom… Show more
