Abstract
Summary Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is a collection of sensor nodes with a base station for data transmission. Mostly the network has various paths with the unbalanced nodes; therefore, energy consumption is always high. This causes the letdown of quality of service (QoS) routing metrics such as delay, inefficient throughput in WSNs. This paper concentrates on this problem and proposes an energy‐efficient multipath routing (EEMR) protocol for WSNs. EEMR protocol computes the optimal path using the multi‐objective lion optimization algorithm with less energy consumption. The main aim of EEMR protocol is to achieve an efficient path among multiple paths to satisfy quality requirements such as delay, throughput, energy consumption, delivery ratio, loss ratio, and latency. Thus, the proposed EEMR protocol is designed with a multi‐objective function using an optimization algorithm and implemented in MATLAB. The simulation results show that the performance of the proposed protocol is very efficient in comparison to state of the art.
