Wireless Sensor Network Lifetime Improving Based on Whale Optimization Algorithm
Bilal Saoud
Wireless sensor network (WSN) can be used for many purposes. Among applications based on WSN we find Internet of Things, monitoring, agriculture, industry, etc. WSN is a collection of electronic devices which represent sensors. In generally sensors have a limited power and in most cases it is impossible to change sensors batteries. Sensors energy plays a huge role in WSNs lifetime. A new hierarchical routing protocol has been proposed in order to improve the lifetime of WSN. The proposed protocol selects the optimal cluster heads based on Whale Optimization Algorithm in order to reduce the consumption of energy in the WSN. Then each sensor is assigned to a one cluster head based on the distance. Our proposed routing protocol can improve the lifetime and extend the stability duration of WSN. Results of experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed protocol in comparison with the stated of the art routing protocols.
