Hybrid Bio-Inspired Algorithms for Energy Efficient and Optimal Communication in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks: Review

Abstract:

The technology of Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (HWSNs) is critical to the efficient operation and deployment of a variety of real-time Internet of Things (IoT) and Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). It is crucial for reducing overall energy dissipation and ensuring consistent energy distribution throughout the network. Bio-inspired hybrid optimization algorithms are emerging as a possible option for overcoming basic difficulties in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), with a focus on sensor lifespan restrictions. A significant topic that must be considered prior to network configuration is attaining energy efficiency and optimal communication. Several papers have been published on the use of bio-inspired algorithms in WSNs. Few articles, however, addressed the hybrid strategy for routing and clustering in WSNs with communication. This research focuses on hybrid bio-inspired optimization algorithms and elaborates on their taxonomy and problem domains in WSNs. Furthermore, we explored and investigated the hybridization of the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with other meta-heuristic algorithms such as the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and others. This review can assist researchers in exploring the uses of such algorithms within and outside of this study area.
