An Energy – Aware and Trust based Secure Routing Protocol using OEHO and CDFPCC Approaches in WSN Environment

Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a group of sensor nodes that dynamically organizes itself into a
wireless network without using any pre-existing infrastructure. The energy consumption of WSNs is one
of the main issues, and it affects the lifespan of the network. This research proposes ETHOEHO, a hybrid
Osprey-Elephant herding optimizer (ETHOEHO) algorithm, as an energy-aware and trust-based routing
protocol for wireless sensor networks as a result of the need for improvement. In this study, the
initialized nodes' direct and indirect trust values are computed based on threshold calculation. The
cluster is then generated using HWF-SS based on the factors, and the cluster head is chosen using OEHO.
Then, among the discovered pathways, the best paths are chosen using the ATSO after the CH paths are
chosen using the SFDENN. The detected data are safely transferred to the BS via CDFPCC from the chosen
route. When conducting an experimental assessment, the planned research's performance is analyzed
using the currently used methods. The suggested achieves superior results.
