An improved approach for energy consumption minimizing in WSN using Harris hawks optimization

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is made up of minimal power devices (or) units spread over geographically separated locations. Sensors are grouped in the form of clusters. Every cluster has a key node known as the Cluster Head (CH). CH gathers sensed information out of its sensor nodes and transmits into a Base Station (BS). Sensors are indeed installed using non-replaceable batteries. WSN is concerned about its energy usage to reduce (or) minimize the consumption of energy as well as increase network lifetime. An improved upgraded technique is presented, which is accomplished by improving appropriate energy balancing in clusters across every sensor node in order to reduce power dissipation while networking connections. The enhanced technique was built by employing a well-known technique named cluster head selection. Accordingly, the energy consumption of WSN is reduced to prolong the network life cycle other than the network models. Furthermore, an efficient routing CH is optimized by the Average Fitness-based Harris Hawks Optimization (AF-HHO). In the WSN network, this proposed algorithm is used to locate neighbouring nodes with higher energy efficiency measurements. As a result, when compared to other conventional approaches, the simulation results demonstrate superior performance. Through the sink node, an optimal routing path for transferring data packets to neighbouring sensor nodes was discovered. The suggested technique is evaluated using energy consumption, network lifespan, and residual energy performance estimations.
