Abstract: In view of the poor data transmission accuracy of traditional wireless sensor transmission methods, a multipath transmission optimisation algorithm for multichannel wireless sensors based on optimised clustering and multi-hop is proposed. The internal structure and node structure of multichannel wireless sensor networks are analysed firstly, a multichannel routing algorithm for wireless sensor according to the internal structural characteristics of multichannel wireless sensor is built, and the cluster head and number of multichannel wireless sensors are determined and optimised with optimised cluster and multi-hop; then, the ant colony algorithm is introduced into multipath search for a multichannel wireless sensor; finally, by using path coding and decoding, the corresponding fitness function is constructed to optimise the multipath transmission of a multichannel wireless sensor. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the data transmission delay, the accuracy of multipath transmission is up to 98%, and the network energy consumption is low.

Keywords: optimised clustering and multi-hop; multichannel wireless sensor; multipath transmission; path coding; internal structure; node structure; multichannel routing algorithm.
