An Energy-Efficient and Swarm Intelligence-Based Routing Protocol for Next-Generation Sensor Networks

After providing a brief overview of routing protocols for next-generation sensor networks (NGSNs), the authors propose Bee-Sensor-C, an energy-efficient, swarm intelligence-based, and scalable multipath routing protocol that integrates dynamic clustering, multipath routing, and bee-inspired routing to meet the performance requirements of NGSNs. A performance evaluation is also provided.
