ABSTRACT: Energy efficient routing is one of the major thrust areas in Wireless Sensor
Communication Networks (WSCNs) and it attracts most of the researchers by its valuable
applications and various challenges. Wireless sensor networks contain several nodes in its terrain region.
Reducing the energy consumption over the WSCN has its significance since the
nodes are battery powered. Various research methodologies were proposed by
researchers in this area. One of the bio-inspired computing paradigms named
Cuckoo search algorithm is used in this research work for finding the energy
efficient path and routing is performed. Several performance metrics are taken
into account for determining the performance of the proposed routing protocol
such as throughput, packet delivery ratio, energy consumption and delay.
Simulation is performed using NS2 and the results shows that the proposed
routing protocol is better in terms of average throughput, and average energy
consumption.
