Abstract

Internet of things has become an essential principle of human life with the widespread acceptance of intelligent environments, where everyday objects can communicate through the internet. Mobility is the most critical factor in today’s internet of things devices to apply in real-world applications. Also, proper routing protocol plays a vital role in communication and reduces devices’ energy consumption. The clustering approach is one of the efficient routing techniques to improve energy consumption and enhance network life. Due to the NP-Hard nature of clustering, a krill herd optimization algorithm is proposed in this paper to select the cluster head nodes and intermediate nodes required for routing. The simulation results using NS-3 confirmed that the proposed technique performs better than particle swarm optimization and cuckoo search in terms of network lifetime. The proposed technique increases the total network lifetime by at least 11.1% compared to the current clustering methods.
