Modern Energy Optimization Approach for Efficient Data Communication in IoT-Based Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Many researchers are drawn to mobile wireless sensor networks (WSN) and the Internet of Things (IoT) because of the significant challenges of power consumption and network connectivity. A technique that takes into consideration the characteristics such as network probability, the identified region of individual nodes, and the radius of the whole identified region is presented in this article. Free-space propagation is carried out in the region of interest. This approach assures network connection, long-term communication sustainability, and maximum energy efficiency. It was discovered that a mathematical network model can be built using the probability theory. It has been possible to examine and evaluate the changes in sensor nodes as a function of distance from the detection region using this approach. As a result, a correlation has been established between a network’s communication radius and the identified region. Additionally, a novel method has been developed to reduce energy consumption and sustain connectivity through boosting the connectivity feature. Notably, IoT-based WSN architectures require more energy optimization than any other network, because they have resource-limited nodes. Also, a simulation plot of the proposed approach’s mathematical network scheme is shown to show if it works. The proposed method consumes much less energy averagely 40% compared to the existing methods, which are LEACH, ZTR, and DSR when the radius is 100.
