Abstract: This study proposes the Sensor Device Scheduling-based Cuckoo Algorithm (SeDeSCA) for enhancing the lifespan of cluster-based WSNs. SeDeSCA consists of two phases: clustering and scheduling. The WSN is clustered into clusters using the DBSCAN algorithm in the first phase. The scheduling phase is periodic and consists of three steps: cluster head polling, scheduling decision-based optimisation, and covering. The sensors in each cluster choose their cluster head, which executes the Cuckoo Algorithm (CA) to select a suitable schedule of sensors that will achieve sensing during the current period. The aim of scheduling is to minimise energy consumption and ensure sufficient coverage for the monitored area while maximising network lifespan. The third step is to cover the area of interest with the sensors that are scheduled to be active during this period. The simulation results show that SeDeSCA improves the network lifespan and coverage ratio, as well as the lifespan of WSNs.
