Rubina Sharma, Richa Sharma . Improved General Self Cuckoo Search based Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 122, 4 ( July 2015), 1-5. DOI=10.5120/21685-4790
WSNs have become major area of research in computational theory due to its wide range of applications. But due to limited battery power the energy consumption has become major limitations of WSNs protocols. Though many protocols have been proposed so far to improve the energy efficiency further but still much enhancement can be done. In order to overcome the constraints of the earlier work a new improved technique is proposed in this paper. The proposed technique has the ability to overcome the limitations of the tree based routing protocol by using the reactivity and cuckoo search based optimization based optimized path selection. The proposed technique has been designed and implemented in the MATLAB tool. Various metrics have also been used to evaluate the improvement of the proposed technique over tree based routing protocol which proves the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
