Optimized Path Selection and Packet Transfer based on Block Chain using Wireless Sensor Network
R. Nithya, K. Venkatasalam · 2025
When designing wireless sensor networks, security and energy efficiency are regarded as crucial considerations. Since nodes in wireless networks run on power sources, it is crucial to create an energy-efficient technique to reduce energy usage and increase the lifespan of the network. This research introduces BC-RSA, an energy-effective and reliable clustering-based data packet transmission technique that combines blockchain-enabled safe data transfer with a clustering technique based on the reptile search algorithm (RSA) in wireless sensor networks. The clustering process is carried out by the suggested BC-RSA technique employing the RSA technology after node initialization. Cluster head identification and cluster building are done via the clustering approach. Blockchain-driven protected data transmission between cluster members and heads occurs using the proposed approach. The BC-RSA technique’s experimental validation is evaluated from a number of viewpoints, and the outcomes are contrasted with those of other existing approaches. The results acquired confirmed that the BC-RSA technique has demonstrated higher performance in terms of latency, productivity, efficacy, network lifespan, and distribution ratio.
