Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of numerous sensor nodes, each sensor nodes are equipped with limited resources. WSNs are strategically distributed throughout an environment to continuously monitor, and measure physical and natural parameters such as temperature, humidity, and motion. In the deployed environment, gathered data from the sensor nodes are transmitted to a remote server or Base Station (BS) using multi-hop communication. WSNs are applied in diverse domains such as agriculture, healthcare monitoring, environmental monitoring, and target tracking. However, the sensor nodes, being tiny and deployed in harsh environments, face energy constraints due to limited battery life and the difficulty of recharging or replacing batteries. Therefore, enhancing the energy efficiency and providing security in WSNs is a critical challenge. In the proposed work, Honey Badger Optimization Algorithm (HBO) is employed to provide to elect cluster head (CH) to optimize the energy consumption of network. Remora optimization Algorithm (RO) is employed to discover optimal path during routing in the network. Moreover, the proposed protocol employs Identity based Digital Signature with Conditional Privacy Preservation Algorithm (IDS-CPPA) to provide efficient authentication among the nodes in the networks. The effectiveness of the proposed protocol is implemented by using the NS3 simulator. The simulation results shows that proposed protocol improves average energy efficiency by 13%, packet delivery ratio by 10%, end to end delay by 15%, network lifetime by 17% and network throughput by 13% when it is compared with other existing protocols. Moreover, the proposed protocol improves the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters such as energy efficiency, throughput, packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, and latency and provides better security to the nodes which can withstand various types of attacks in the network.
