Abstract

Firefly synchronization algorithm, in a bio-inspired way, has been proposed to replace conventional methods of solving the synchronization problem in wireless sensor networks. For the well-known M&S model and the RFA, a direct application of them can hardly lead to considerable results. This paper presents several vital improvements in order to make the RFA more applicable for a certain wireless sensor network. To better evaluate the results, the algorithm is modulated in a scenario with realistic parameters of a network. Moreover, differing network topologies have also been taken into consideration.
