Performance Improvement in a Wireless Sensor Network by Reduction Chain Complexity using Honey Bee Optimization

Parul Mittal | Paramjeet Singh ^[3]

Abstract: In Wireless Sensor Network, due to the limited power of nodes, efficient routing plays important role in order to save the energy of wireless sensor nodes and to enhance the network lifetime of the WSN. In this paper, a new protocol, O-PEGASIS (Optimized PEGASIS) has been presented to reduce the chain complexity in PEGASIS. A new methodology has been designed to overcome the problem of PEGASIS by using the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization technique. The Optimization algorithms are search approaches which are carried out to search an optimal solution to a problem, in order to fulfill objectives. The results of O-PEGASIS (Optimized PEGASIS) have been compared with PEGASIS and by reducing the chain complexity, the performance of wireless sensor network is improved. Thus, the proposed protocol is more efficient as compared to PEGASIS i. e. chain based protocols.
