Hybrid Metaheuristic Aided Energy Efficient Cluster Head Selection in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract: Clustering is one of the significant techniques for expanding the lifetime of networks in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It entails combining of sensor nodes (SNs) into clusters and electing cluster heads (CHs) for each and every cluster. CH collects the information from particular cluster nodes and passes the cumulative data to the base station (BS). However, the most important requirement in WSN is to choose a suitable CH with an increased network life span. This work introduces a new CHS model in WSN. The optimal CH is elected by a new hybridized model termed as “Lion Updated Dragonfly Algorithm (LU-DA) that hybrid the concepts of Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) and Lion Algorithm (LA)”. Moreover, the optimal selection of CH is done depending upon constraints like “energy, delay, distance, security (risk) and trust (direct and indirect trust)”. This optimal CH ensures the network lifetime enhancement. At last, the superiority of the developed approach is proved on varied measures like energy and alive node analysis. Accordingly, the proposed model has accomplished higher energy of 0.55 at 1st round, whereas at the 2000th round, the normalized energy value has been dropped to 0.1.
