“…20 While the deployment of WSN offers a promising solution, it is not without its challenges, including sensor node lifespan limitations, packet loss issues, and routing complexities. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Therefore, an imperative requirement in disaster management scenarios is the implementation of an energy-efficient routing protocol tailored to the specific demands of WSNs. Bio-inspired routing protocols emerge as a viable option due to their adaptability in addressing multiple and intricate objective functions.…”

“…Location-based algorithms have demonstrated their efficiency, particularly in large, mobile, heterogeneous, and distributed networks. 22,28,30 This efficiency is attributed to their capability to manage the spatial positions of sensor nodes. Furthermore, radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) algorithms are employed to determine the distance between the transmitting sensor node and the receiving sensor node using radio frequency-based techniques.…”

SummaryEnvironmental disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and landslides disrupt natural resources, human casualties, and so on. Early warning and alert of such events will help for preparedness to avoid human and economic causalities. Managing a disaster or emergency scenario is a difficult endeavor. These episodes of mass devastation, whether caused by natural disasters or man‐made disasters, result in massive losses of money, property, and lives as a result of inadequate response by the government and management authorities. As a result, actions must be taken to avoid these circumstances from occurring by discovering the causes of these catastrophes in advance and providing swift rescue procedures once the crisis happens. In a disaster situation, communication plays a vital role, and a lot of people turn towards it as a source of information conveyance/delivery for controlling the situation. Even these communication networks are damaged and incur tremendous losses during disasters. All the communication networks, including mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) deployed for communication, also suffer huge damage and face many challenges during disasters. Nature appears to deal with these issues well. WSN is inspired by several biological systems and processes that have intrinsically attractive properties such as adaptation, self‐organization, and self‐healing. In this paper, we proposed an enhanced bio‐inspired energy‐efficient localization (EBEEL) routing for Mobile WSN. The main focus of the proposed EBEEL algorithm is to overcome the challenges faced by peer‐existing routing protocols such as data aggregation, limited bandwidth, scalability, data redundancy, energy consumption, packet drops, load balancing, and Quality of Service (QoS).
