Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have become a key pillar in smart monitoring infrastructure, but their operational effectiveness continues to be hampered by the limited energy resources of each sensor node. This research aims to optimize energy consumption through the development of adaptive routing algorithms and duty-cycling mechanisms designed to extend network lifetime without compromising quality of service (QoS). The methodology applied includes the formulation of a precise radio energy dissipation model and the implementation of computational intelligence-based optimization algorithms to dynamically balance the workload based on remaining energy. Validation was performed through computational simulations by comparing the performance of the proposed method with standard protocols such as LEACH in various network density scenarios. The analysis results showed a significant increase in the First Node Dies (FND) indicator of 45.8% and an increase in data throughput of up to 61.9% compared to conventional protocols. 

 In addition, average energy consumption was successfully reduced by 33.3%, proving that optimization at the network and MAC layers can effectively mitigate the energy hole phenomenon. This finding makes an important contribution to the development of independent and sustainable Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, while also opening up future research opportunities on the integration of machine learning for real-time energy load prediction.
