Performance analysis of ant-lion optimization based routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

PurposeThe miniscule wireless sensor nodes, engaged in the wide range of applications for its capability of monitoring the physical changes around, requires an improved routing strategy with the befitting sensor node arrangement that plays a vital part in ensuring a completeness of the network coverage.Design/methodology/approachThis paves way for the reduced energy consumption, the enhanced network connections and network longevity. The conventional methods and the evolutionary algorithms developed for arranging of the node ended with the less effectiveness and early convergence with the local optimum respectively.FindingsThe paper puts forward the befitting arrangement of the sensor nodes, cluster-head selection and the delayless routing using the ant lion (A-L) optimizer to achieve the substantial coverage, connection, the network-longevity and minimized energy consumption.Originality/valueThe further performance analysis of the proposed system is carried out with the simulation using the network simulator-2 and compared with the genetic algorithm and the particle swarm optimization algorithm to substantiate the competence of the proposed routing method using the ant lion optimization.

Reducing Interrupts Among Robots in Quantum-Behaved Swarm Exploration With MR-Leach

“…The efficient clustering protocols are offered to prolong the network lifetime. For example, the Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy Mobile Enhancement or LEACH-ME is reported to contribute to network lifetime, energy consumption, and packet transmission stability [20]. Another example is MR-LEACH, which can enhance the network lifetime and reduce power consumption [21][23].…”

“…Such an organization removes redundancy significantly and positively effective in saving network energy. With the introduction of this clustering data aggregation technique, the CHs multi-hop can form a tree structure for data transmission, significantly reducing energy wastage [20].…”
