AEr-Aware Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor Network Using Hybrid Multi-Verse-Optimized Connected Dominant Set

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) refers to emerging technology with great promise for different applications in the military and mass public. Sensing technology, when combined with wireless communication and processing power, can make it quite lucrative to be exploited to a great extent in the future. The selection of clustering-based optimal cluster head (CH) in the WSN can be a very efficient technique that is important to improve the lifetime of the network. However, enforcing an optimal CH selection that is based on the stabilization of energy, reduced distance between the sensor nodes, and minimized delay can be a major challenge. Since there is no centralized control or fixed infrastructure for the WSN, there can be a connected dominating set (CDS) that may work in the form of a virtual backbone to ensure efficient connectivity and routing. In this work, an optimized multi-hop low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (M-LEACH) protocol for the WSNs was proposed.
