A Novel Spider Monkey Optimized Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm (SMOFCM) for Energy-Based Cluster-Head Selection in WSNs

Abstract

AI is getting increasingly complex as a result of its widespread deployment, making energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)-based Internet of Things (IoT) systems a highly difficult problem to solve. In energy-constrained networks, cluster-based hierarchical routing protocols are a very efficient technique for transferring data between nodes. In this paper, a novel Spider Monkey Optimized Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm (SMOFCM) is proposed to improve the lifetime of the network and less energy consumption. The proposed SMOFCM technique makes use of the Fuzzy C-means clustering framework to build up the cluster formation, and the Spider Monkey Optimization technique to select the Cluster Head (CH). MATLAB was used to model the suggested SMOFCM. The suggested framework's network lifetime, number of alive nodes (NAN), energy consumption, throughput, and residual energy are compared to those of more established frameworks like LEACH, K-MEANS, DRESEP, and SMOTECP. SMOFCM technique improves the network lifetime by 11.95%, 7.59%, 4.97% and 3.83% better than LEACH, K-MEANS, DRESEP, and SMOTECP. According to experimental findings, the proposed SMOFCM technique outperforms the existing model.
