Abstract
Minimum energy broadcast (MEB) problem in wireless sensor network has attracted attentions of the many researchers due to the limited bandwidth of the network and battery life of the sensor nodes. The data in a wireless network are transmitted from the source node to all other nodes and seek broadcast scheme to transmit with minimum energy consumption. The main objective of MEB is to minimize the transmission energy consumption of the network and is considered as an NP-complete problem. This work proposes a new variant of Flower pollination algorithm based on Powell’s method (PFPA) to solve MEB problem in wireless sensor networks. The proposed algorithm is compared with other heuristic approaches and the performance of the algorithm is assessed using benchmark instances with 50 and 100 nodes. The effectiveness and merit of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated in terms of performance metrics.
