Underwater Sensor Networks Routing Strategy Based on the Improved Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm

An improved ant colony optimization algorithm in given out, which is applied to underwater sensor networks, The underwater sensor networks topology model is established and an improved ant colony algorithm based on the model is used to find the minimum energy path. Then,the path is used to transnit data. Finally, the routing strategy is simulated in Matlab,and the result shows that this strategy is a good way to sowe the problem of energy consumption and multipath effects.
