Energy efficient clustering mechanism (Eecm) using firefly algorithm in can networks

Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, power constraint and lifetime of the network plays a major role in the design of sensor nodes.An efficient mechanism is designed to reduce the energy consumption and prolong the system lifetime. An energy efficient clustering mechanism with Firefly Algorithm (FA) is approached and for secure transmission, Cluster Key Management is used. An effective Cluster Key Management scheme is used for secure transmission in wireless sensor networks which are characterized by thenode mobility. This protocol is effective in defending various attacks and it is evident form security analysis. Firefly algorithm gives better performance while taking into account delivery latency, energy consumption security and packet delivery ratio.
