Abstract:

Sensor nodes are mobile with no specific infrastructure due to which the routing process has become more difficult as connections between nodes can change dynamically. The routing and coverage is a main concern of researchers. The major challenge is to propose an algorithm that can optimize the various parameters, in order to achieve an efficient routing and coverage in WSN. Routing is a well know technique to improve the lifetime of sensor node as the energy consumption is decreased by improving the technique of transferring data in the network. This paper presents a new nature encouraged algorithm known as Firefly algorithm that can tackle combinational and optimization multimodal issue more efficiently. The proposed algorithm is developed with novel fitness function based on residual energy, distance and node degree. The performance of the algorithm is tested on various scenarios and compared with existing algorithm such as DHCR, EADC and Hybrid Routing that shows that the present algorithm performs better than the already existing ones.
