Swarm intelligence–based energy efficient clustering with multihop routing protocol for sustainable wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor network is a hot research topic with massive applications in different domains. Generally, wireless sensor network comprises hundreds to thousands of sensor nodes, which communicate with one another by the use of radio signals. Some of the challenges exist in the design of wireless sensor network are restricted computation power, storage, battery and transmission bandwidth. To resolve these issues, clustering and routing processes have been presented. Clustering and routing processes are considered as an optimization problem in wireless sensor network which can be resolved by the use of swarm intelligence–based approaches. This article presents a novel swarm intelligence–based clustering and multihop routing protocol for wireless sensor network. Initially, improved particle swarm optimization technique is applied for choosing the cluster heads and organizes the clusters proficiently. Then, the grey wolf optimization algorithm–based routing process takes place to select the optimal paths in the network. The presented improved particle swarm optimization–grey wolf optimization approach incorporates the benefits of both the clustering and routing processes which leads to maximum energy efficiency and network lifetime. The proposed model is simulated under an extension set of experimentation, and the results are validated under several measures. The obtained experimental outcome demonstrated the superior characteristics of the improved particle swarm optimization–grey wolf optimization technique under all the test cases.

A Review Of Clustering Methods Based on Artificial Intelligent Techniques

“…This proposed IPSO-GWO method gave excellent results as it provided the greatest possible energy efficiency with a lifetime of the network. To determine the efficiency of this strategy, Energy efficiency measure was used to calculate the amount of energy used by each node over the course of a given time period [47]. Hussen, used the Backpropagation network and the K-Means algorithm to cluster groups of diverse medical data.…”

Reducing Interrupts Among Robots in Quantum-Behaved Swarm Exploration With MR-Leach

“…Jiang et al proposed an energy-balanced unequal clustering (EBUC) communication protocol able to partition the sensor network and turns them into many uneven clusters [26]. Hence, one source communicates to the base station via a multi-hop channel [27]. This way, any node with the highest energy level can promote itself to become a CH.…”

“…It is observed that the absence of TDMA leads to wastage of energy. For improvement, Lee et al discussed the utility of an energy-efficient scheme call the Location-based Unequal Clustering Algorithm or LUCA [27]. LUCA localizes the nodes and forms CHs depending on the cluster's distance Malaysian Journal of Computer Science, Vol.…”

Energy Aware Metaheuristic Optimization with Location Aided Routing Protocol for MANET

“…Because of its flexible nature, MANET is highly relevant in disaster relief, battlefield communications, educational, and commercial, emergency, search and rescue operations. The key challenge in MANETs is the development of dynamic routing protocol which could be aware of mobility and effective for determining the routes among the transmitting nodes with less overhead and better performance [4]. The routing protocol in MANET is classified into 3 classes according to how routing information is maintained and acquired using mobile nodes.…”
