3D Efficient HWSN Protocol for Water Quality Monitoring Using Firefly Algorithm

Abstract

For different living forms to have a steady and sustainable supply of water, effective water quality monitoring is crucial. Intelligent algorithms and modern wireless network technologies are used to greatly improve the efficacy and accuracy of this monitoring process. TDEEC is unique among routing protocols for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSN) because of its ease of use, capacity to manage large data quantities, and long network lifetime. In this work, we suggest using the firefly method in conjunction with a customized algorithm, FTDEEC, to optimize the routing of three-dimensional water quality data. Decision-making in real time depends on this optimization. The main goal of the study is to model and assess the utilization of the fluorescence quenching process in the detection of peroxide contaminants. Using the firefly method is essential for increasing data flow, prolonging the network's lifespan, and minimizing energy usage during group leader election (CH) and hierarchical group construction. The results of our simulations show how effective our modified hierarchical data clustering and routing protocol based on the firefly method is. In comparison to other protocols, this one delivers great throughput with reduced time complexity during data gathering and processing processes.
