Cuckoo Search for data gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks

International Journal of Mobile Communications (IJMC), Vol. 9, No. 6, 2011

Abstract: In this paper a meta-heuristic optimisation technique, Cuckoo Search (CS) is used to aggregate data in the Sensor Network. In the proposed technique, the least energy nodes are formed as subordinate chains (or) clusters for sensing the data and high energy nodes as Cluster Head for communicating to the Base Station (BS). The modified CS is proposed to get enhanced network performance incorporating balanced energy dissipation and results in the formation of optimum number of clusters and minimal energy consumption. The feasibility of the scheme is manifested by the simulation results on comparison with the traditional cluster based routing methods.
