Description
Summary:•To develop a new energy-efficient and secure clustering based data transmission scheme for pervasive wireless networks.•To employ red deer algorithm (RDA) based clustering technique with blockchain enabled secured data transmission.•The experimental validation of the RDAC-BC technique is assessed and the results are compared with existing methods. Energy efficiency and security are considered as important issues in the design of pervasive wireless networks. Since the nodes in pervasive wireless networks are battery-operated, it becomes essential to develop an energy-efficient method to minimize energy consumption and prolong the network lifetime. This paper presents new energy-efficient and secure clustering based data transmission in pervasive wireless networks using red deer algorithm (RDA) based clustering technique with blockchain enabled secured data transmission, named as RDAC-BC. The proposed RDAC-BC technique undergoes node initialization and performs the clustering process using the RDAC technique. The clustering technique performs cluster head (CH) selection and cluster construction process is carried out. Once the CHs are chosen, blockchain enabled secure data transmission takes place among cluster members (CMs) as well as CHs. The application of RDAC and blockchain technology helps to achieve energy efficiency and security. The experimental validation of the RDAC-BC technique is assessed under several aspects and the results are compared with existing methods. The obtained results ensured that the RDAC-BC technique has shown superior results interms of energy, network lifetime, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and throughput.
