A narrow bandwidth may lead to a large amount of redundant data, which further causes the interruptions of the communication network. In order to address this problem, an optimized clustering communication protocol based on intelligent computing (CCP-IC) is proposed in this paper. First, we adopt the intelligent algorithm to perform the optimization of the clustering in the sensor network. The adaptation function and the heuristic function are introduced to make a targeted choice on the cluster head for the next hop of the nodes in the network. Second, the controllable threshold parameter and variation coefficient are employed to optimize the shortest path chosen by the network routing. Therefore, the node energy consumption is lowered when the minimum network delay is guaranteed and the transmission efficiency is improved. Finally, it is verified via the simulation results and compared with other algorithms; the proposed protocol reduces the network energy consumption by 15.3% and prolongs the network lifetime by 18.72%, which proves the validity and effectiveness of the proposed protocol.
