Efficient Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Optimized Energy Efficient Engroove Leach Clustering Protocol

Abstract
The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network that is constructed in regions that are inaccessible to human beings. The widespread deployment of wireless micro sensors will make it possible to conduct accurate environmental monitoring for a use in both civil and military environments. They make use of these data to monitor and keep track of the physical data of the surrounding environment in order to ensure the sustainability of the area. The data have to be picked up by the sensor, and then sent to the sink node where they may be processed. The nodes of the WSNs are powered by batteries, therefore they eventually run out of power. This energy restriction has an effect on the network life span and environmental sustainability. The objective of this study is to further improve the Engroove Leach (EL) protocol\'s energy efficiency so that the network can operate for a very long time while consuming the least amount of energy. The lifespan of WSNs is being extended often using clustering and routing strategies. The Meta Inspired Hawks Fragment Optimization (MIHFO) system, which is based on passive clustering, is used in this study to do clustering. The cluster head is chosen based on the nodes\' residual energy, distance to neighbors, distance to base station, node degree, and node centrality. Based on distance, residual energy, and node degree, an algorithm known as Heuristic Wing Antfly Optimization (HWAFO) selects the optimum path between the cluster head and Base Station (BS). They examine the number of nodes that are active, their energy consumption, and the number of data packets that the BS receives. The overall experimentation is carried out under the MATLAB environment. From the analysis, it has been discovered that the suggested approach yields noticeably superior outcomes in terms of throughput, packet delivery and drop ratio, and average energy consumption.
