Clustering Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Improved QPSO Algorithm

In wireless sensor networks, clustering routing algorithm can effectively solve the problem of limited energy consumption and unbalanced network energy consumption. Based on the improved QPSO optimization algorithm, a new clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks is proposed. The algorithm introduces a new beta value adaptive adjustment strategy to avoid the algorithm falling into the local optimum, thus ensuring the diversity of the particle swarm, and thus finding the global optimal solution. Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively balance the node load, improve the network lifetime, and balance the energy consumption of the system.
