摘要：Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are popular as they are potentially low cost solutions to various real-world challenges. WSNs consist of autonomous nodes to monitor an environment. WSN developers face challenges from communication link failures, memory/computational constraints, and limited energy. Many WSN issues are formulated as multidimensional optimization problems and solved through bio-inspired techniques. Clustering divides a network into interconnected substructures, called clusters with each cluster having a cluster head (CH) as coordinator in the substructure. Each CH is a temporary base station in its zone/cluster communicating with other CHs. This study proposes an improved cluster head selection for efficient data aggregation in sensor networks. The proposed algorithm is based on LEACH incorporated Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO).
