Research Area:  Wireless Sensor Networks
Tremendous advancements are seen in communication technologies for the past few years. Mechanisms and concepts used for transmission are facing continuous updates. The challenges arise when data pass from wired medium to wireless medium. The advent of WSN provides a new dimension in network research particularly towards controlled devices. In those types of networks, communication between sensor nodes entirely depends on sensing the location and tracking the changes that get happen. These kinds of sensor nodes permit WSN to (i) perform the operation in a broad range, (ii) receive the accurate information. Routing plays a major role in WSN to deliver the sensed information to the destination node. Poor routing ends with network failure. In this paper, bio-inspired optimization based routing is proposed to enhance the performance of the routing by minimizing the delay and energy consumption. Proposed protocol is inspired from characteristics and behavior of saddle goatfish. Results indicate that the proposed routing protocol attains the better performance than other routing protocols.
