Abstract

Energy efficient routing protocol is the requirement of today’s wireless sensor networks. Various protocols have been developed in order to create an energy efficient wireless sensor network, but still some loopholes exist in this domain and energy hole is one of them. Energy hole refers to the early energy diminution of those nodes that are near to the sink. This study introduced a mobile sink based energy aware clustering mechanism to enhance the lifetime of the network by overcoming the issue of energy holes. In proposed work, the network is initially divided into the number of rectangular regions and each region is comprised of one cluster head (CH). The nature-inspired firefly optimization algorithm is used to select cluster heads where residual energy, average node to node distance and distance from the node to sink are the decisive parameters of the process. The sink moves in the observing field after estimating the centroid location of the CHs. The performance of the proposed work is compared with the LEACH, LEACH-GA, A-LEACH, MIEEPB, and MSIEEP by using Matlab simulation platform. The result section represents the proficiency of the proposed MSECA protocol over traditional techniques in term of network lifetime, packet delivery ratio and packet delay.
