Abstract
SummaryThe problems related to energy consumption and improvement of the network lifetime of WSN (wireless sensor network) have been considered. The base station (BS) location is the main concern in WSN. BSs are fixed, yet, they have the ability to move in some situations to collect the information from sensor nodes (SNs). Recently, introducing mobile sinks to WSNs has been proved to be an efficient way to extend the lifespan of the network. This paper proposes the assimilation of the fuzzy clustering approach and the Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO)‐Greedy algorithm for efficient routing in WSN. This work considers the separate sink nodes of a fixed sink and movable sink to decrease the utilization of energy. A fixed node is deployed randomly across the network, and the movable sink node moves to different locations across the network for collecting the data. Initially, the number of nodes is formed into the multiple clusters using the enhanced expectation maximization algorithm. After that, the cluster head (CH) selection done through a fuzzy approach by taking the account of three factors of residual energy, node centrality, and neighborhood overlap. A suitable collection of CH can extremely reduce the utilization of energy and also enhancing the lifespan. Finally, the routing protocol of the hybrid EHO‐Greedy algorithm is used for efficient data transmission. Simulation results display that the proposed technique is better to other existing approaches in regard to energy utilization and the system lifetime.
