Software defined networking approach based efficient routing in multihop and relay surveillance using Lion Optimization algorithm

Abstract

Wireless Networks (WN) are widely employed in numerous real time applications in almost all the domains such as healthcare, remote monitoring, object tracking, security and surveillance based applications etc. The inexpensive nature of wireless sensors make it so popular and the major issue being faced by WN is the energy efficiency. The existing literature presents numerous solutions to guarantee energy efficiency, however the optimal energy efficient solutions are still in demand. Software Defined Networking (SDN) provide a hopeful resolution in bendy supervision WSNs by allowing the separation of the control logic from the sensor nodes/actuators. The advantage with this SDN-based supervision in structure of WSNs is that it enables centralized control of the entire WSN making it simpler to deploy network-wide management protocols and applications on demand This paper proposes a hierarchical cluster based routing scheme by employing Lion Optimization (LO) algorithm. The sensor nodes are clustered by means of LO algorithm and routes are established to transmit data. This performance of this work is analysed in terms of packet delivery rate, average latency, energy consumption and network lifetime. The proposed approach proves better results when compared to the existing approaches. Finally Quality of Services (QoS) of network is increased with SDN based routing optimization of proposed approach.
