Abstract


In ad hoc wireless sensor networks, the mobile nodes are deployed to gather data from source and transferring them to base station for reactive decision making. This process of data forwarding attributed by the sensor nodes incurs huge loss of energy which has the possibility of minimizing the network lifetime. In this context, cluster-based topology is determined to be optimal for reducing energy loss of nodes in WSNs. The selection of CH using hybrid metaheuristic algorithms is identified to be significant to mitigate the quick exhaustion of energy in entire network. This paper explores the concept of hybrid Crow Search and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm-based CH Selection (HCSPSO-CHS) mechanism is proposed with the merits of Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and integrated Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) for efficient CH selection. It further adopted an improved PSO for achieving sink node mobility to improve delivery of packets to sink nodes. This HCSPSO-CHS approach assessed the influential factors like residual energy, inter and intra-cluster distances, network proximity and network grade during efficient CH selection. It facilitated better search process and converged towards the best global solution, such that frequent CH selection is avoided to maximum level. The outcomes of the suggested simulation HCSPSO-CHS confirm better performance depending on the maximum number of active nodes by 23.18%, prevent death of sensor nodes by 23.41% with augmented network lifetime of 33.58% independent of the number of nodes and rounds of data transmission.
