ABC algorithm‐based trustworthy energy‐efficient MIMO routing protocol

This paper introduces artificial bee algorithm (ABC)‐based energy‐efficient protocol with security for the enhancement of lifetime of wireless sensor network. A trustworthy energy‐efficient routing MIMO (TEEM) technique is used by implementing MIMO technique in TEER protocol to isolate malicious nodes and to reduce the fading effects and interference in the network. The performance of ABC‐based trustworthy energy‐efficient MIMO routing (ABC‐TEEM) protocol is analysed. Alive node performance, residual energy, throughput analysis, and pocket loss rate of ABC‐TEEM protocol for WSN are computed and compared with the performance of existing TEEM protocol for various diversity orders.
