Research Area:  Metaheuristic Computing
Wireless sensor networks have worked with the help of battery sources. Every sensor node monitors the physical or environmental conditions. The sensor nodes are utilized to perform data processing and transmitted to BS. This task requires extra energy for data processing which also affects the lifetime. The clustering technique gives a solution for energy-efficient data processing processes. Simulated annealing in LEACH-C algorithm is not suitable for enhancing the lifetime. In this paper, the dragonfly algorithm is proposed in the LEACH-C methodology for locating the cluster head. This technique exploits the swarming behavior of the dragonflies to locate the cluster head. The proposed methodology is measured with the help of alive nodes, and network lifetime. The proposed methodology minimizes energy utilization and improves the network lifetime.
