Summary With the advancements in the technology, Internet of Things (IoT)‐based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have shown a tremendous growth in rendering a huge number of applications across the globe. However, it is observed that IoT‐based sensor nodes suffer from energy limitations. To resolve this, cluster‐based topology is adapted by the various researchers for rendering green energy‐efficient solution for communication of IoT devices. In this paper, the dynamic and energy‐efficient clustering for energy hole mitigation (DECEM) is proposed. The proposed framework is composed of the following proposed attributes; network is divided in two halves of regions, in each half, a gateway node (GN) is selected that collects data from their corresponding half region. Further, in each cluster, two cluster heads (CHs) are selected among whom one is made active at a moment (remains active until 60% of its energy is consumed) and other stays in sleep mode. First, the GN is selected in each side of the network (divided into two halves), and later, clustering is done, and selection of two CHs in each cluster is performed. The parameters for the selection of GN and CHs include residual energy, separation between the node and the sink, the number of neighbour nodes and network's residual energy. The simulation experiments reveal that DECEM has enhanced stability period by 5% and 31% as compared to the MEEC and IDHR protocols, respectively. The network lifetime is gigantically improved by 56% as compared to MEEC protocol.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently been viewed as the basic architecture that prepared the way for the Internet of Things (IoT) to arise. Nevertheless, when WSNs are linked with the IoT, a difficult issue arises due to excessive energy utilization in their nodes and short network longevity. As a result, energy constraints in sensor nodes, sensor data sharing and routing protocols are the fundamental topics in WSN. This research presents an enhanced smart-energy-efficient routing protocol (ESEERP) technique that extends the lifetime of the network and improves its connection to meet the aforementioned deficiencies. It selects the Cluster Head (CH) depending on an efficient optimization method derived from several purposes. It aids in the reduction of sleepy sensor nodes and decreases energy utilization. A Sail Fish Optimizer (SFO) is used to find an appropriate route to the sink node for data transfer following CH selection. Regarding energy utilization, bandwidth, packet delivery ratio and network longevity, the proposed methodology is mathematically studied, and the results have been compared to identical current approaches such as a Genetic algorithm (GA), Ant Lion optimization (ALO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The simulation shows that in the proposed approach for the longevity of the network, there are 3500 rounds; energy utilization achieves a maximum of 0.5 Joules; bandwidth transmits the data at the rate of 0.52 MBPS; the packet delivery ratio (PDR) is at the rate of 96% for 500 nodes, respectively.

Among the key challenges with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is that most sensor nodes are fueled by energy-constrained batteries, which has a significant impact on the network’s efficiency, reliability, and durability. As a result, many clustering approaches have been developed to enhance the energy efficiency of WSNs. Meanwhile, fifth-generation (5G) transmissions necessitate the usage of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple antennas in numerous Internet of Things (IoT) applications to furnish increased capacity in a multipath spectrum environment. Instead of a single senor that can facilitate better load balancing utilization, we believe to balance the energy utilization per unit area. The devices in IoT are submerged with various transmission interfaces known as MIMO in 5G networks. With MIMO being more commonly accessible on IoT devices, an effective clustering approach for rapidly evolving IoT systems is both lacking and urgently needed to support a variety of user scenarios. In this paper, we proposed the intelligent MIMO-based 5G balanced energy-efficient protocol which focuses to achieve Quality of Experience (QoE) for transmitting in clusters for IoT networks. The proposed protocol enhances the utilization of energy and lifetime of the network in which it shows 30% less energy utilized in comparison to the existing protocols.
