Abstract: The interest of researchers in wireless networking have increased tremendously in the recent years. Its application has made our lives easies in many areas such as health care, smart homes, smart phones, security and many others. Routing plays the major role of data transmission in networking. From Analysing the current routing WCDA approach we understand that the number of hops is more which reduce the energy level of the nodes which result in more no of dead nodes which in turn affect the efficiency. The present system also takes more time in packet delivery. So, in this paper we propose Ant colony optimization method to improve energy efficiency and to reduce the time required for packet delivery.

Keywords: Energy efficiency, routes, cluster, hops, source nodes, WCDA, ant colony optimization, wireless networking, residual energy, dead nodes, alive nodes, lifetime ratio.
