Abstract In recent advancements within wireless sensor networks (WSN), the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has emerged as a groundbreaking strategy for enhancing routing efficiency and overall network functionality. This research introduces a sophisticated framework, driven by computational intelligence, that merges clustering techniques with UAV mobility to refine routing strategies in WSNs. The proposed approach divides the sensor field into distinct sectors and implements a novel weighting system for the selection of cluster heads (CHs). This system is primarily aimed at reducing energy consumption through meticulously planned routing and path determination. Employing a greedy algorithm More >
