An innovative clustering protocol based on the GRASP Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of several sensors positioned across the area to be monitored. For most sensor nodes, data routing uses a lot of energy. In order to increase the network's lifespan, it is critical that the sensors' energy be used efficiently. The WSN has a number of routing and power-saving techniques. In this paper, We suggest a brand-new procedure called MOD-GRASP (Modified Greedy Random Adaptive Search Procedure) designed to address the issue of optimizing energy usage in wireless sensor networks using the GRASP algorithm. The MOD-GRASP protocol seeks to minimize the amount of power used when relaying the collected data to the base station (SB). In the suggested protocol MOD-GRASP, a method for choosing the optimal Cluster Head (CH) in the WSN based on GRASP data is presented in order to increase the network's energy independence and, as a result, its lifespan. Experiments and comparative research have verified that our algorithm's application leads to a longer lifespan and less energy use than the LEACH methodology.
