An efficient cluster head selection in WSNs using transient search optimization (TSO) algorithm

Abstract

SummaryIn this manuscript, a nature‐inspired optimization method, named transient search optimization (TSO), is proposed. Energy‐based monetary custom is a serious issue on the wireless sensor network (WSN). Here, the network clustering is an effectual technique to reduce node energy depletion and increased network lifetime. The proposed method aims to improve the efficiency of sensor nodes (SNs) by reducing their detachment, minimizing energy transmission, and protecting excessive energy stored in the nodes. This approach helps decrease delays, reduce traffic flow, and optimize network performance. The execution is implemented on the NS2 software. The experimental outcomes exhibit that the proposed system performs better based on two wireless sensor architectures, such as 50 nodes and 100 nodes. The parameter produces 52.24%, 54.38%, and 56.37% better network lifetime; 44.71%, 46.24%, and 49.45% higher alive node; and 39.26%, 36.26%, and 28.65% lesser dead SNs compared with existing techniques like multi‐objective cluster head (CH)–based energy‐aware optimized routing approach in wireless sensor network (MOCH‐ORR‐WSN), energy effective CH selection with improved sparrow search algorithm in WSN (ECH‐ISS‐WSN), and energy effectual cluster basis routing protocol under butterfly optimization along ant colony optimization algorithms for WSN (EEC‐BOA‐ACO‐WSN).
