Abstract

In recent times, real time wireless networks have found their applicability in several practical applications such as smart city, healthcare, surveillance, environmental monitoring, etc. At the same time, proper localization of nodes in real time wireless networks helps to improve the overall functioning of networks. This study presents an Improved Metaheuristics based Energy Efficient Clustering with Node Localization (IM-EECNL) approach for real-time wireless networks. The proposed IM-EECNL technique involves two major processes namely node localization and clustering. Firstly, Chaotic Water Strider Algorithm based Node Localization (CWSANL) technique to determine the unknown position of the nodes. Secondly, an Oppositional Archimedes Optimization Algorithm based Clustering (OAOAC) technique is applied to accomplish energy efficiency in the network. Besides, the OAOAC technique derives a fitness function comprising residual energy, distance to cluster heads (CHs), distance to base station (BS), and load. The performance validation of the IM-EECNL technique is carried out under several aspects such as localization and energy efficiency. A wide ranging comparative outcomes analysis highlighted the improved performance of the IM-EECNL approach on the recent approaches with the maximum packet delivery ratio (PDR) of 0.985.
