The primary factor influencing the wireless sensor network (WSN) is the energy consumption of the sensor node. One of the key factors influencing WSN energy consumption is the high power consumption and packet delivery ratio needed for WSN processing. The suggested Energy Efficient Spherical Grid Routing (EESGR) protocol reduces the node's energy consumption to meet the requirements. To choose the cluster heads, the WSN is clustered into a collection of nodes using the pillar k-means clustering method defined in the proposed protocol. One optimization algorithm inspired by nature, the ant lion, is used to create cluster heads for assessing energy consumption in WSNs. The behavior concept of the ant lion is utilized for choosing the best nodes for the selection of the cluster head. The multi-tier spherical grid routing proposed in the paper is used to grid the cluster head generated by the ant-lion optimization algorithm to evaluate the total energy consumed for processing the sensor network. The overall performance of this method is evaluated in Network Simulator 2 (NS2). The proposed method improves performance in throughput, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, and energy consumption compared to the existing techniques.Refference:
