VAWGAN-NPOA: Energy-Aware Routing for Innocuous Data Transmission in WSN

Abstract

The protection and prediction of harmful activity in the wireless sensor network (WSN) are vital research problems. To solve these problems, an Energy-Aware Routing using a Variational auto-encoder Wasserstein generative adversarial network with a Nomadic People Optimizer (VAWGAN-NPOA-EAR-WSN) is proposed in this paper for secure data transmission in WSN. The proposed Variational auto-encoder Wasserstein generative adversarial network (VAWGAN) selects the Cluster Head (CH) based on multiple objective fitness functions such as delay, distance, energy, cluster density, and traffic rate. After that, energy-aware trust path selection is selected based on parameters such as trust, connectivity, and degree of amenity using the proposed Nomadic People Optimization Algorithm (NPOA). The data are transmitted from the cluster head to the base station and vice versa via a perfect trust path. The proposed VAWGAN-NPOA-EAR-WSN method is done in MATLAB and its efficacy is assessed with performance metrics, such as energy consumption, network lifetime, throughput, etc. compared with existing such as DNN-WSN, EESNN-WSN, and ANN-WSN. Finally, the proposed method provides a lower energy consumption of 2 mJ compared with existing methods.
