Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) finds wide applications in both Target tracking and Environment monitoring in almost every field, with the demand growing day by day. Routing is considered as the most important challenge in designing a WSN. To enhance the Network Lifetime, there is a need to have a balanced load sharing with equal consumption of Energy by all the nodes in the Network. Several Routing Protocols have been developed that are inspired by the collective behaviour and principles of social insects and animal societies. Inspired by the Frog behaviour, we in this paper propose an Energy efficient distributed Frog-Based Routing (FBR) algorithm for WSN. Routing path is established considering the nodes that have high residual Energy which makes all the nodes die around the same time, prolonging the Network Lifetime. Simulation was carried out using NS2 and the results of FBR algorithm are compared with two other Energy Efficient Routing Protocols LEACH and SPIN for the evaluation of different performance metrics.
