Optimizing IoT Data Aggregation: Hybrid Firefly-Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Enhanced Efficiency in Agriculture

Abstract

The data aggregation process in this study has been enhanced by the hybrid firefly-artificial bee colony algorithm (HFABC) by increasing the average packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and lifespan computation. In this study, HFABC and Multi Hop LEACH are two algorithms that are used to aggregate IoT data. Their performance is compared using evaluation criteria including average End-to-End Delay, PDR, and network lifetime. The HFABC method reduces average End-to-End Delay more effectively than Multi Hop LEACH, with gains of 2.20 to 8.66 %. This demonstrates how well it works to reduce the lag times for data transfer in IoT networks. With improvements ranging from 3.45% to 45.39%, HFABC has a greater success rate than Multi Hop LEACH in effectively delivering packets. HFABC increases network lifetime by 0.047 to 2.286 percent, indicating that it helps keep IoT networks operating for longer. For effective data aggregation in IoT networks, HFABC is a superior solution that decreases delays, improves packet delivery, and lengthens network lifetime.
