Abstract
One of the most important issues discussed in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is how to transfer
information from nodes within the network to the base station and select the best possible route for
transmission of this information, taking into account energy consumption for the network lifetime with
maximum reliability and security. Hence, it would be useful to provide a suitable method that would have
the features mentioned. This paper uses an Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) as a
routing protocol. This protocol has high energy consumption due to its multipath. However, it is a big
challenge if it can reduce AOMDV energy consumption. Therefore, clustering operations for nodes are of
high priority to determine the head of clusters which LEACH protocol and fuzzy logic and Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO) algorithm are used for this purpose. Simulation results represent 5% improvement in
energy consumption in a WSN compared to AOMDV method.
