In the recent era, border monitoring, home security, and other IoT-based application design are based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, the Sensor nodes (SNs) in isolated or remote areas cannot change their batteries because of their wireless nature. To extend the network lifetime of WSN, the most popular metaheuristic techniques ensure both CH selection and data transport. This article presents a strategy for enhancing the life of WSNs by choosing the optimum cluster head. Simulation results demonstrate that the propound scheme has improved the alive node, average network lifetime, packet forward to BS, and minimized dead-node of a network as contrasted with the existing MOD-LEACH and SEP protocols.
