Efficient and Reliable Routing Algorithm to Enhance Connectivity in Disaster Scenario: ABC Algorithm

Management of a disaster and emergency situation is a challenging task. Noisy and damaged environments and the limited power transmission make the scenario impracticable to support the quick rescue measure operations. Through this paper our aim is to review technological solutions for managing disaster using wireless sensor networks (WSN) via disaster detection and alerting system, and search and rescue operations. In this paper we proposed Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm to match the different characteristics of wireless sensor network deployment process, which will be optimum for real time dynamic network functioning and for maintaining connectivity even in disaster conditions. The effectiveness of proposed method is measure in terms of throughput, end to end delay, packet delivery ratio, routing load and average energy consumption. Simulations for this work are carried out over the NS2 simulator.
