Abstract
Water cycle algorithm (WCA) is a relatively new bio-inspired algorithm in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this work WCA has been applied independently to three energy models of WSN, with a view to optimize the energy spent on data communication in the nodes. By taking different sets of node population sizes, the energy performance is analyzed from the point of view of the percentage reduction of energy depleted, and the number of iterations needed to achieve the optimum value. Based on the simulation results, some salient trends are commented upon. The implementation renders an energy reduction of up to 46.24% in the sensor nodes, which is a promising outcome, and must be investigated further.
