Efficient Data Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are collection of sensor nodes. The main goal of wireless sensor nodes is to sense the medium and process the data to specified location. WSNs suffer with many technical challenges such as node deployment, battery power, self-configuration, slow convergence, and packets drop during the data transmission. This paper focuses on efficient data transmission, quick convergence and optimizes lifetime of WSNs using hybrid artificial bee colony with salp (HABCS). This paper also generates the different frame formats such as hello message, bond message, route request message, route reply message, and data packets. The proposed approach is implemented using network simulator-2 and it is more energy-efficient than other existing classical and SI protocols.
