A novel cluster-based routing protocol wireless sensor networks using Spider Monkey Optimization

With rapid development, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been focused on improving the performance consist of energy efficiency, communication effectiveness, and system throughput. Many novel mechanisms have been implemented by adapting the social behaviors of natural creatures, such as bats, birds, ants, fish and honeybees. These systems are known as nature inspired systems or swarm intelligence in in order to provide optimization strategies, handle large-scale networks and avoid resource constraints. Spider monkey optimization (SMO) is a recent addition to the family of swarm intelligence algorithms by structuring the social foraging behavior of spider monkeys. In this paper, we aim to study the mechanism of SMO in the field of WSNs, formulating the mathematical model of the behavior patterns which cluster-based Spider Monkey Optimization (SMO-C) approach is adapted. In addition, our proposed methodology based on the Spider Monkey's behavioral structure aims to improve the traditional routing protocols in term of low-energy consumption and system quality of the network.
