Lifetime Extension of Wireless Sensor Networks by Perceptive Selection of Cluster Head Using K-Means and Einstein Weighted Averaging Aggregation Operator under Uncertainty
Journal Title: Journal of Industrial Intelligence - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In the realm of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), energy efficiency emerges as a paramount concern due to the inherent limitations in the energy capacity of sensor nodes. The extension of network lifespan is critically dependent on the strategic selection of Cluster Heads (CHs), a process that necessitates a nuanced approach to optimize communication, resource allocation, and network performance overall. This study proposes a novel methodology for CH selection, integrating Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) with the K-Means algorithm to facilitate a more discerning aggregation and forwarding of data to the network sink. Central to this approach is the application of the Einstein Weighted Averaging Aggregation (EWA) operator, which introduces a layer of sophistication in handling the uncertainties inherent in WSN deployments. The efficiency of CH selection is vital, as CHs serve as pivotal nodes within the network, their selection and operational efficiency directly influencing the network's energy consumption and data processing capabilities. By employing a meticulously designed clustering process via the K-Means algorithm and selecting CHs based on a comprehensive set of parameters, including, but not limited to, residual energy and node proximity, this methodology seeks to substantially enhance the energy efficiency of WSNs. Comparative analysis with the Low-Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy (LEACH)-Fuzzy Clustering (FC) algorithm underscores the efficacy of the proposed approach, demonstrating a 15% improvement in network lifespan. This advancement not only ensures optimal utilization of limited resources but also promotes the sustainability of WSN deployments, a critical consideration for the widespread application of these networks in various fields. The findings of this study underscore the significance of adopting sophisticated, algorithmically driven strategies for CH selection, highlighting the potential for significant enhancements in WSN longevity through methodical, data-informed decision-making processes.
