OPTIMIZED ENERGY EFFICIENT- HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING BASED ROUTING (OEE-HCR) FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK (WSN)

Abstract

The study into Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has grown more crucial as a result of the many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Energy – Harvesting (EH) technology can extend the lifespan of WSN; however, because the nodes would be difficult to get to during energy harvesting, an energy-efficient routing protocol should be developed. The use of clustering in this study balances energy consumption across all Sensor Node (SN) and reduces traffic and overhead throughout the data transmission phases of WSN. Cluster Head (CH) selection step of the Optimized Energy Efficient-Hierarchical Clustering Based Routing (OEE-HCR) technique involves sending data to the closest CH. In order to analyse and transmit each cluster data, CH will need to use more energy, which will hasten and asymmetrically deplete the network. Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) algorithm is introduced for the best number of clusters formation with dynamicallyselecting the CH. Experimentation analysis, results are measured using First Node Dead (FND), the Half Node Dead (HND), Last Node Dead (LND), and Maximum Lifetime Coverage (MLC) at the time of number of data transmission rounds performed in routing algorithms
