Abstract

To extend the lifespan of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), effective routing protocols are required to provide communication channels between the sources and sink. While nodes are arbitrarily distributed in a substantially unsafe situation, these steering protocols are susceptible to an extensive range of assaults. For WSNs, trust-based routing protocols are created, which employ a trusted route rather than the quickest path, to prevent these attacks. The artificial bee colony-based clustering technique is utilized because the conventional clustering algorithm reduces the energy usage of nodes. This allows it to increase the lifespan of the sensor network by evenly dividing energy use among all nodes. The artificial bee colony (ABC)-based grouping method was developed because the typical grouping technique minimizes the energy usage of nodes. By integrating diverse sensors and devices, Internet of Things (IoT) enhances the performance of WSN, by enabling efficient data collection, analysis, and communication. The creation of such traditional protocols does not guarantee the best global optimization for the lengthening of WSN life. Through simulation analysis, the suggested Artificial Bee Algorithm (ABC)-based Traffic-Aware Energy Efficient Routing (TEER) protocol's performance was evaluated and contrasted with the TEER protocols. The ABC-based TEER protocol's lifetime analysis, active node analysis is achieved and contrasted with those of other protocols. In terms of the number of rounds, the network performance for the ABC-based TEER scheme performs better than the TEER schemes. The Analysis of throughput of the ABC-TEER method, which reveals a 9.5% increase in performance in comparison to the TEER protocol.
