Fractional Competitive Fruitfly Optimized Secure Routing Protocol under Mobile Sink Based WSN with Deep QNN Based Prediction

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consists of numerous of low cost and less-energy sensor nodes that are responsible to gather and transmit the data packets from one node to destination point. WSN has a wide range of applications over agriculture, military, traffic monitoring, instrument surveillance, and security monitoring. In WSN, the nodes are located in a specific region to create a wireless network. The effective data communication among sensors is a challenging task because of different complex parameters. Typically, clustering is a well-preferred methodology to provide the effective communication by partitioning the nodes into different clusters. Every cluster possesses individual cluster head that transmits the data to other sensor nodes. Therefore, it is substantial to choose optimal cluster head and optimal route for effective transmission with less energy consumption and less delay. To increase the network efficiency and sink utilization, an energy aware routing algorithm called Fractional Competitive Fruit Fly Optimizer (FrCFFO) is designed, which is an integration of Fractional concept into the Competitive Fruit Fly Optimizer (CFFO). Here, the energy prediction is performed using Deep Quantum Neural Network (QNN). Effective CH selection and routing is done using the proposed FrCFFO and the fitness parameter is considered depending upon the factors like energy, distance, link lifetime, trust, and delay. Moreover, the developed FrCFFO has achieved effective performance with minimum delay of 0.098sec, maximum energy of 0.233J, and maximum PDR of 90.81%.
