Abstract


Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have evolved a vibrant and lively research field. It comprises numerous wise and low-power consumption devices for gathering the contiguous atmosphere's data. However, the energy dissipation matter that distorts network lifetime remains the challenge since the sensor node battery is non-rechargeable and irreplaceable. Clustering and routing protocol has become the furthermost solutions and invariably minimizes depletion and prolongs the sensor node lifetime. Such protocols have adopted metaheuristic algorithms to secure the efficiency of the clustering and routing protocols. However, the cluster head's extensive task favors consuming and draining more energy. This study proposed a fine-tuning solution for the sensor node's population and generation sizes. It benefits from the modified problem-oriented genetic algorithm parameters in securing the sensor node lifetime. Besides, the solution works effectively to balance the load of the cluster head nodes. A set of simulations has been performed using MATLAB R2018b on the proposed solution, namely the energy efficient of genetic (EEG) algorithm and has revealed that the solution outperforms the network lifetime and cluster head load of the existing solution.
