Implementation of Efficient Intra- and Inter-Zone Routing for Extending Network Consistency in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large amount of limited battery-powered sensor nodes. In general, energy consumption will be a significant concern for WSN owing to irreplaceable battery constraints of sensor nodes. The zone formation approach could be an adequate data aggregation technique which efficiently minimizes the energy consumption by categorizing sensor nodes into zones. However, the main constraints like zone head (ZH) selection, frequent change of ZH, and multi-hop communication from ZH to the sink have a direct impact on the network consistency of WSN. In this paper, a novel efficient intra- and inter-zone routing scheme has been proposed in order to prolong the network consistency of WSN. In the proposed scheme, the hybrid algorithm is established in which harmony search algorithm incorporates with modified moth flame optimization algorithm. This hybrid algorithm provides the appropriate ZH selection for intra-zone routing that reduces the frequent change of ZH in the network. Furthermore, the path balancing in inter-zone routing is acquired through multi-criteria-based optimal path routing algorithm. The performance results confirm that the proposed scheme enhances the network consistency compared with an existing scheme.

Energy-Efficient Routing for Performance and Network Lifetime Enhancement in Wireless Sensor Networks

“…Furthermore, several routing protocols developed in WSN based on various frameworks, attributes, and features of the network. Utmost of the available routing protocols in WSN considered based on a variety of patterns consequently as to manage with network features of WSN [15]. One of the major challenges in WSNs is efficient-energy routing, since its applications are built-in disaster assistance, military, and health care.…”

Improving the performance of hierarchical wireless sensor networks using the metaheuristic algorithms: efficient cluster head selection

“…The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/0260-2288.htm necessitate balance. Multiple approaches have been recommended in literature for energy conservation, some of which are discussed in Kiani et al (2013), Prasanth and Pavalarajan (2020), Ekpenyong et al (2019), , Behera et al (2019); furthermore, there are a few general technical solutions that are abstracted as a taxonomy in Anastasi et al (2009). The energy problem has also created many new challenges in, both, hardware and software development of nodes.…”

“…One or more methods in these categories can be used effectively for energy efficiency. On the other hand, actual structures that use these methods in multiple or/and hybrid approaches is the hierarchy-based network architecture (Prasanth and Pavalarajan, 2020). In other words, hierarchy-based (cluster) methods are important structures used in energy conservation and extending the network lifetime (Kiani, 2016).…”

A Hybrid Cryptographic Scheme for Improving Cloud Security Using ECC and TDES Algorithms

“…In general, cloud computing is a modern paradigm focused on the growth, usage and interaction of the Internet. As noted, a suitable set of security standards for each web application or service needs to be applied in the cloud [7,8]. From the studies analyzed, the most important cloud security problems in the last decade includes Insufficient Identity, Credential, Access and Key Management, Data Breaches and Data loss, Insecure API's, Insider threat, Account hijacking, Lack of cloud security architecture and strategy.…”
