Abstract
ZigBee is a new low complexity, low cost and low power wireless communication technology. ZigBee technology is used to build a wireless sensor network and we must consider the energy saving and simple of algorithm in designing routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks. As heuristic search algorithm of ant colony optimization has the advantages of good distribution, strong global search capability, and the algorithm is simple to implement. RFID (radio frequency identification) is a kind of automatic recognition technology of non-contact. The paper proposes using ant colony algorithm to construction wireless sensor Zigbee and RFID routing. Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively achieve balanced energy consumption of nodes.
