A Multi-Objective Improved Hybrid Butterfly Artificial Gorilla Troop Optimizer for Node Localization in Wireless Sensor Groundwater Monitoring Networks

Wireless sensor networks have gained significant attention in recent years due to their wide range of applications in environmental monitoring, surveillance, and other fields. The design of a groundwater quality and quantity monitoring network is an important aspect in aquifer restoration and the prevention of groundwater pollution and overexploitation. Moreover, the development of a novel localization strategy project in wireless sensor groundwater networks aims to address the challenge of optimizing sensor location in relation to the monitoring process so as to extract the maximum quantity of information with the minimum cost. In this study, the improved hybrid butterfly artificial gorilla troop optimizer (iHBAGTO) technique is applied to optimize nodes’ position and the analysis of the path loss delay, and the RSS is calculated. The hybrid of Butterfly Artificial Intelligence and an artificial gorilla troop optimizer is used in the multi-functional derivation and the convergence rate to produce the designed data localization. The proposed iHBAGTO algorithm demonstrated the highest convergence rate of 99.6%, and it achieved the lowest average error of 4.8; it consistently had the lowest delay of 13.3 ms for all iteration counts, and it has the highest path loss values of 8.2 dB, with the lowest energy consumption value of 0.01 J, and has the highest received signal strength value of 86% for all iteration counts. Overall, the Proposed iHBAGTO algorithm outperforms other algorithms.
