Energy Aware Simple Ant Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

Table 5

Case 3 route discovery comparison for SARA and EASARA.

	EASARA	SARA
Neighbor set	(5)
	(6)
Link cost	: = 2;	: = 2;
	() = 0.25	() = 0.25
	: = 3;	: = 3;
	() = 0.2	() = 0.2
Probability	: = 2;	() = 0.55; () = 0.44
	() = 0.25
	: = 3;
	() = 0.2
Average energy threshold	5.5	—
Number of nodes in CBR	1 ()	2 ()
Conclusion	Node is selected on the basis of the less number of times it is used.	Node is used due to less energy consumption and the fact that the processing energy consumption of other nodes decreases. Energy of is 6.
