Network Optimization for PEGASIS using PBO in WSN

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are mainly known for their energy consuming sensor nodes. So, there is a need to formulate the energy efficiency of the nodes in order to enhance the network lifetime. Power efficient gathering in sensor information systems (PEGASIS) is a hierarchical based routing protocol which is used for their high energy and good expandability. In PEGASIS high energy nodes are randomly selected for processing and sending data and low energy nodes are used for sensing and sending information to chain heads. Pollination Based Optimization (PBO) is a metaheuristic approach used for the optimization of the routing networks
