Artificial hummingbird algorithm for cluster head selection in WSNs

Abstract

Wireless sensor network is composed of hundreds to thousands of nodes called sensors. WSNs aresuccessfully applied to real world problems ranging from defence to civil applications. In this paper, wecompared various WSN techniques namely LEACH, ABC and PSO with proposed algorithm called Artificialhummingbird algorithm (AHA). Results show that AHA performed better than all other algorithms in termsof energy efficiency, alive nodes and Cluster head (CH) count.
