Energy efficiency is a significant challenge in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) design where the nodes move randomly with limited energy, leading to acceptable topology modifications. Clustering is a widely applied technique to accomplish energy efficiency in MANET. Therefore, this paper designs a new energy-efficient clustering protocol using an enhanced rain optimization algorithm (EECP-EROA) for MANET. The EROA technique is derived by integrating the Levy flight concept to the ROA to enhance global exploration abilities. In addition, the EECP-EROA technique intends to proficiently select CHs and the nearby nodes linked to the CH to generate clusters. Moreover, the EECP-EROA technique has derived an objective function with different input parameters. To showcase the superior performance of the EECP-EROA technique, a brief set of simulations takes place, and the results are inspected under varying aspects. The experimental values pointed out the betterment of the EECP-EROA technique over the other methods.

Abstract Energy stability is considered as the core challenge of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as it is the main factor that contributes towards improved network lifetime expectancy. Clustering with maximized energy efficiency is determined to be the well documented NP hard optimization solution that has the possibility of resulting in prolonged network lifetime. Diversified number of computational approaches that includes nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms, reinforcement schemes and evolutionary algorithms were used for attaining efficient clustering process in WSNs. In this paper, Red Deer and Simulation Annealing Optimization Algorithm-based Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol (RDSAOA-EECP) is proposed for improving lifetime expectancy and energy stability in WSNs. This clustering protocol is proposed with the global optimization capability of the red deer optimization algorithm and local optimization potential of simulation annealing. In specific, RDA is used for diversification and Simulated Annealing (SA) for intensification in order to establish balance between them during the clustering process in order to sustain energy stability. This RDSAOA-EECP protocol is proposed with SA as the search tool that prevents the phases of fighting and roaring phases of RDA involved in the intensification process. Moreover, this clustering protocol inherits the potentialities of the proposed metaheuristic properties in order to achieve optimal cluster heads together with the optimal base station location for the objective of enhancing energy efficiency. The simulation results of the proposed RDSAOA-EECP protocol guaranteed its potentiality over the baseline clustering approaches in improving network lifetime, throughput, packet deliver rate with minimized network latency and energy consumptions independent to the homogeneous and heterogeneous sensor network setup considered for implementation.

Heterogeneous wireless sensor network (HWSN) fulfills the requirements of researchers in the design of real life application to resolve the issues of unattended problem. But, the main constraint faced by researchers is the energy source available with sensor nodes. To prolong the life of sensor nodes and thus HWSN, it is necessary to design energy efficient operational schemes. One of the most suitable approaches to enhance energy efficiency is the clustering scheme, which enhances the performance parameters of WSN. A novel solution proposed in this article is to design an energy efficient clustering protocol for HWSN, to enhance performance parameters by EECPEP-HWSN. The proposed protocol is designed with three level nodes namely normal, advanced, and super, respectively. In the clustering process, for selection of cluster head we consider different parameters available with sensor nodes at run time that is, initial energy, hop count, and residual energy. This protocol enhances the energy efficiency of HWSN and hence improves energy remaining in the network, stability, lifetime, and hence throughput. It has been found that the proposed protocol outperforms than existing well-known LEACH, DEEC, and SEP with about 188, 150, and 141 percent respectively.
