Resumen
Descripción
Multiple applications of sensor devices in the form of aWireless Sensor Network (WSN),
such as those represented by the Internet of Things and monitoring dangerous geographical spaces,
have attracted the attention by several scientific communities. Despite their interesting properties,
sensors present an adverse characteristic: they manage very limited energy. Under such conditions,
saving energy represents one of the most important concepts in designing effective protocols for
WSNs. The objective of a protocol is to increase the network lifetime through the reduction of
energy consumed by each sensor. In this paper, a robust clustering routing protocol for WSNs is
introduced. The scheme uses the Locust Search (LS-II) method to determine the number of cluster
heads and to identify the optimal cluster heads. Once the cluster heads are recognized, the other
sensor elements are assigned to their nearest corresponding cluster head. Numerical simulations
exhibit competitive results and demonstrate that the proposed protocol allows for the minimization of
the energy consumption, extending the network lifetime in comparison with other popular clustering
routing protocols.
