Abstract

Key challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) include reduced dormancy, energy efficacy, reportage worries, and network lifetime. To solve the issues of energy efficiency and network longevity, more study of cluster-based WSNs is required. In order to address the challenges and constraints of WSNs, creative approaches are needed. WSNs use machine-learning techniques because of their unique characteristics. These characteristics include high communication costs, low energy reserves, high mobility, and frequent topological shifts.  The current method picks cluster heads at random at the beginning of each cycle, not considering the remaining energy of these nodes. It is possible that the newly chosen CH nodes will have the lowest energy level in the network and will die off fast as a result. Energy is wasted while communicating over long distances between cluster heads and the BS, which occurs frequently in a big network due to Internet of things. This would mean that WSNs have a finite lifespan. Therefore, to increase the network's longevity and efficiency, we propose a machine-learning-based strategy called energy proficient crossbreed clustering methodology (ECCM). The experimental results reveal that the ECCM is superior to the LEACH approach, increasing residual energy by 35%, extending network lifetime by 37%, and increasing throughput by 15%.
