Novel Scheme for Minimal Iterative PSO Algorithm for Extending Network Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Clustering is one of the operations in the wireless sensor network that offers both streamlined data routing services as well as energy efficiency. In this viewpoint, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has already proved its effectiveness in enhancing clustering operation, energy efficiency, etc. However, PSO also suffers from a higher degree of iteration and computational complexity when it comes to solving complex problems, e.g., allocating transmittance energy to the cluster head in a dynamic network. Therefore, we present a novel, simple, and yet a cost-effective method that performs enhancement of the conventional PSO approach for minimizing the iterative steps and maximizing the probability of selecting a better clustered. A significant research contribution of the proposed system is its assurance towards minimizing the transmittance energy as well as receiving energy of a cluster head. The study outcome proved proposed a system to be better than conventional system in the form of energy efficiency. [5] etc. There has been a voluminous amount of investigation carried out in this area for addressing such issues, but still majority of the issues are yet to meet its full-proof solution. The primary cause of this problem is basically the sensor node, which is very small in size, posses low computational capabilities, and powered by a battery that has limited lifetime. The biggest challenge for the researchers to prove the applicability of their presented system in real-time sensor node that is not found to be discussed in majority of the existing research work. However, some of the researchers avoid such problems by considering either benchmark test bed, or adopt the configuration of some real-time motes e.g. Berkley Mote, MicaZ mote [6], etc. Hence, optimization is the best possibility in such scenario of node resources constraints. There are various methods by which optimizations have been carried out towards improving the performance of sensor node e.g. neural network, genetic algorithm, swarm intelligences etc [7]. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one such technique that uses many numbers of iterations in order to explore the best solution against the problems posed [8], [9]. From computational viewpoint, PSO enhances the candidate solution in the perspective of the anticipated outcomes and given problem in wireless sensor network. The problem is optimized by considering the candidate solution and its population (also called as particles) and this form of the candidate solution is subjected to iterative processing in order to obtain personal and global best outcome from the position and velocity of the particles. The primary reason behind the adoption of PSO is basically its intelligence-based approach that can be possibly implemented on any of Keyword: Clustering
