IMPLEMENTATION OF A NEW ROUTING PROTOCOL WITHIN THE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH THE TARGET OF MINIMIZING ENERGY CONSUMPTION (USING A COMBINATION OF FUZZY ALGORITHM AND HARMONY SEARCH)

The Internet of things (IoT) has been following a fast-growing trend in recent years, and the wireless sensor networks account for the basis and, in fact, the regulatory framework of the internet of things regarding their functions. Considering the wide-range applications of these sensors, energy consumption will be one of the main challenges associated with this equipment in the future. The present study mainly deals with the issue of minimizing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks
