A secure and energy-efficient routing using coupled ensemble selection approach and optimal type-2 fuzzy logic in WSN by S. Ambareesh, Pundalik Chavan, S. Supreeth, Rajesh Nandalike, P. Dayananda, S. Rohith

“…The IT2FLS model dynamically adapts routing selections by means of assessing key parameters, consisting of dynamic accept as true with factors, node power ranges, course delays, and energy consumption fees, whilst the RSA algorithm exceptional-tunes the bushy common sense club features to make certain most beneficial cluster head choice and reliable multi-hop communication paths. Additionally, our proposed technique complements secure routing by means of efficaciously counteracting the effects of compromised nodes, for this reason maintaining community integrity. …”
