Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the one of the hot area of research in which energy stability and network lifetime are considered to be the twin challenges during its application. Clustering is the optimum energy efficiency strategy that organizes the sensor nodes into potential groups for the objective of attaining energy stability and network lifetime. In this energy potent clustering process, cluster head selection is determined to be highly significant in order to balance energy among the nodes sensor nodes. Moreover, two-tier cluster head selection that includes temporary and final cluster head is identified to be challenging in WSNs. In this paper, Hybrid Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Flora Optimization Algorithm (FL-AFA)-based Two Tier Cluster Head Selection is proposed for improving energy efficiency and prolog network lifetime. This FL-AFA scheme achieved the cluster head selection in two stages, such as, i) Temporary Cluster Head (TCH) selection using FL and, ii) Final Cluster Head (FCH) selection using AFA. In the first stage, the concept of fuzzy logic applied over the input parameters of residual energy (RE), distance to BS (DTBS), and node degree (NDE). In the second stage, the benefits of AFA is employed for computing the fitness function through distance to nearby nodes (DNN), cluster compactness estimation factor (CCEF), and position estimation (PE). Simulation experiments of the proposed FL-AFA scheme and the benchmarked schemes are conducted based on the evaluation metrics of energy efficiency, network lifetime, average delay, and packet delivery ratio (PDR) under the impact of different sensor nodes. .
