Abstract

In the last decade, wireless sensor networks have attracted many researchers. One of the main topics adopted by researchers studying on wireless sensor networks is developing routing protocols for wireless systems. Routing protocol development deals with problems such as complexity, scalability, adaptability, survivability and battery life in wireless systems. Routing protocols grounded for wireless systems are developed in order to solve these problems. In this paper, we briefly discussed especially, swarm intelligence based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks.

Key words: Wireless sensor networks, swarm intelligence, routing.
