An Enhanced PSO-Based Energy Efficient Clustering Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises of a lot of sensor nodes which are implanted in an application system to track hardware elements in a specific area, such as monitoring of temperature, ocean level tracking, pressure monitoring, and health care, in addition to various military applications. The network is made up of a sensor network that could detect, compute, and transfer data. One of the most difficult challenges in WSN is efficiency. Sensor networks have insufficient energy and are located in remote locations. As a result, restoring the battery cells in WSN is challenging. Hence suitable cluster-based methods and cluster head (CH) methodologies has to be incorporated to enhance the lifespan of the network. In this paper, a clustering-based routing strategy that considers energy in WSN is developed utilizing the Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm, which could cluster the network and choose the appropriate cluster heads. The Modified PSO-based Energy-Efficient Clustering Routing Protocol (PSO-EECRP) of a network is an essential criterion for extending the network’s life span. Numerous factors are taken into account for the proposed approach’s energy efficiency, including the intra-cluster distance and the sensor nodes’ residual energy. Simulations were conducted on evaluation factors such as energy consumption, Packets delivery ratio, Network Lifetime and efficiency. To validate the decrease in energy usage, the performance measures are analyzed and the findings are evaluated by comparing them with an existing algorithm.
