Hybrid GSTEB routing protocol using clustering and artificial bee colony optimization

A wireless sensor network (WSN) composed of a enormous quantity of multifunctional wireless sensor nodes. General Self-Organized Tree-Based Energy-Balance Routing Protocol (GSTEB) is a protocol which is proposed for wireless sensor networks and is used to reduce the entire energy utilization and to balance the wireless sensor networks load. Although GSTEB wants base station to determine the topography, which causes raise in energy misuse and more wait. It has also neglected the use of the three things: (1)The tree based routing require shortest path between the source and the sink, but shortest path problem is NP-Hard in nature. Therefore the Artificial bee colony (ABC) is required to enhance the GSTEB protocol further to find shortest route. (2)Clustering is also not used in this protocol, so clustering is necessary to reduce the redundant data. (3) GSTEB is used for smaller networks, it is not applied on dense network. In order to overcome the limitations of the previous work a novel improved technique is proposed in this paper i.e. hybrid GSTEB routing protocol by using clustering and artificial bee colony optimization. Various parameters are used to evaluate the improvement of the proposed technique as compared to previous GSTEB protocol.
