Topological information embedded convolutional neural network-based lotus effect optimization for path improvisation...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) rely on mobile anchor nodes (MANs) for network connectivity, data aggregation, and location information. However, MANs' mobility can disrupt energy consumption and network performance. Effective path improvisation algorithms are needed for MANs to optimize energy use, reduce data loss, and maintain network connectivity in dynamic WSN environments. To overcome these issues, Topological Information Embedded Convolutional Neural Network based Lotus Effect Optimization for Path Improvisation of the Mobile Anchors in Wireless Sensor Networks (TIECNN-PIMA-OAC-WSN) was proposed. The approach establishes a robust network setup and energy model, employing TIECNN for initial cluster formation and cluster head selection. The chosen cluster head, termed the Mobile Anchor, undergoes optimization using the Lotus effect optimization algorithm to determine the most efficient and shortest path. This work enhances both the topological information processing and energy efficiency of mobile anchor paths. The simulation outcomes prove the proposed technique attains 33.12%, 39.56%, and 42% higher network lifespan for sensor nodes density 40; 38.22%, 29.66%, and 41.33% higher network lifespan for sensor nodes density 60; 37.45%, 35.55%, and 43.67% higher network lifespan for sensor nodes density 80; 32.45%, 29.45%, and 46.66% higher network lifespan for sensor nodes density 100 analysed to the existing methods.
