Enhancing Energy Efficiency in IoT Networks with AI optimized LEACH Protocol and Digital Twin Simulation

The convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) via artificial intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly revolutionize networking. IoT is a technological paradigm shift facilitating the incorporation of many applications, including smart homes and wearable gadgets, via automation, wireless sensors, and embedded systems. Furthermore, the production of AI enhances this phenomenon by delivering data-driven insights, streamlining procedures, and creating new avenues for development. The extensive implementation of devices in Internet of Things (IoT) networks has raised worries over escalating energy usage. Utilizing environmentally friendly techniques is crucial to maintain network service for nodes that sense with limited power supplies. One approach that substantiates this assertion is LEACH, an acronym for Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy. The objective of this form of communication is to optimize the transfer of information to base sites by successfully configuring clusters within networks and executing real-time adjustments across cluster nodes. This work enhances the effectiveness of IoT systems by using a virtual twin simulation to optimize the protocol known as LEACH. Employ artificial intelligence analysis and virtual network models to evaluate power consumption and efficiency. Cache nodes are essential in this architecture since they receive information from the cluster's head & transmit it through the main hub. Utilizing simulation tools and artificial intelligence, we can enhance the reliability and energy efficiency of IoT devices. The results indicate an 84% decrease in inactive nodes & a 1.67-fold rise in node energy use relative to traditional methods. The present study suggests a prospective future trajectory for LEACH-based, AI-augmented, low-power IoT infrastructure.
