Technology advancement in Wireless sensor network (WSNs) has attracted much attention in smart computing and potential usage across numerous applications fields. WSN composed of tiny and self-configured sensor nodes with battery operated. Sensors are restricted to limited energy and resources. Unbalanced nodes energy results in more energy consumption and affects network lifetime. Achieving energy efficiency remains a challenging issue in designing WSN routing. Approaches for minimising node energy usage through clustering techniques have offered optimal solutions. However, the existing clustering scheme fails to balance nodes energy without considering energy parameters, low energy node being chosen as cluster head, node density, and scalability. Existing scheme limits to global exploration possibilities and restricted to only specific search regions. In this paper, we propose an energy optimization routing using improved artificial bee colony (EOR-iABC) for cluster based WSN. The proposed EOR-iABC routing scheme intends to achieve energy optimization and prolong network's lifetime. The EOR-iABC adapts distinctive search policy using improved artificial bee colony algorithm for selection of energy efficient cluster heads (CH) in periodic time intervals through integration of crossover and mutation. The delay convergence is eliminated by associating employee and onlooker-bee stages, which helps to reform local search strategies. An optimal path from CH to base station (BS) is discovered through energy-efficient fitness node to improve network data collection efficiency. Grenade explosion method (GEM) and Cauchy operator are employed to extend search policies dynamically from one region to another for large-scale WSN. Simulation results show EOR-iABC outperforms in terms of energy efficiency by 27% compared to OCABC scheme and by 16% compared to IABCOCT scheme.
