Abstract

The fundamental metric token by clustering algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is energy enhancement to maximize network lifetime. One of the crucial issues is network coverage in order to use all of the network’s resources, which increases the lifetime of the network. Moreover, load balancing techniques play an essential role in improving network lifetime due to their efficient way of distributing the load between nodes. The goal of this work is to assemble these two approaches in clustered WSN in order to improve resources utilization and increase network lifetime. Thus, we present a new clustering algorithm named Firefly optimization based Adaptive Clustering for Energy Efficiency (FACEE) which uses a novel clustering based firefly optimization algorithm for coverage improvement and load balancing. The simulation results indicate that our proposed algorithm can significantly improve the network lifetime as well as the delivery rate.
