Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a significant technological advancement that might contribute to the industrial revolution. The sensor nodes that are part of WSNs are battery-powered. Energy is the most crucial resource for WSNs since batteries cannot be changed or refilled. Since WSNs are a finite resource, several techniques have been devised and used throughout time to preserve them. To extend the lifespan of WSNs, this study will provide an effective method for Cluster Head (CH) selections. Many researches are employing the Swarm-based optimization algorithm to Select the optimal CH. In this study, the Squirrel Search Algorithm (SSA) is utilized to select the optimal CH Selection in WSN. The general SSA has been modified in this study to address the exact need for CH choice in WSNs. The Improved Squirrel Search Algorithm (I-SSA) integrates a series of enhancements aimed at accelerating convergence and elevating solution quality. Notably, we've implemented Adaptive Population Initialization, Dynamic Step Size Control, and a Local Search Algorithm to augment the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the SSA. These enhancements collectively refine the algorithm's ability to navigate the search space effectively, resulting in more efficient convergence towards optimal solutions. The suggested formulation's goal function takes into account the CH balance average, factor, sink distance residual energy and intra-cluster distance. The simulations are run under a variety of circumstances. The MATLAB 2021a working setting is utilised for simulation. The proposed code of conduct SSA-C is compared with the existing protocols Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), SSA, Chernobyl Disaster Optimizer (CDO), Sperm Swarm Optimization (SSO), A Metaheuristic Optimized Cluster head selection-based Routing Algorithm for WSNs (MOCRAW), Energy-Efficient Weighted Clustering (EEWC), and Multi-agent pathfinding using Ant Colony Optimization (MAP-ACO). The ISSA-C method achieved a Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of 88%, outperforming GWO, SSA, and MAP-ACO. It reduced energy consumption to 210 mJ, which is lower than other methods, and showed improved bit error rates. Cluster formation and head selection times were also reduced to 82 s and 67 s, respectively.
