This research explores the application of a B-MAC cluster protocol incorporating a cross-genetic algorithm (GA) and PSO methods to address the challenge of clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSNs consist of numerous small nodes with limited capabilities, and the primary concern is energy constraints. Clustering is identified as a resource-efficient solution to this issue, involving the division of networks into groups with each having a cluster head. Cluster heads are responsible for gathering and transferring data to base stations. The study, employing simulations with OPNET, focuses on evaluating the proposed protocol's performance in terms of packet delivery rate, end-to-end delay, hop number, and jitter. Experimental testing was conducted under varying node mobility levels, revealing that the LSBPSO MAC Cluster Clustering outperformed both BMAC (with flooding) and BMAC (with cluster-based routing) in static and dynamic scenarios. Considering various MAC protocols, it can be inferred that LSBPSO's BMAC holds promise for applications requiring agility in WSNs, such as military reconnaissance maneuvers, tragedy management, safety, healthcare, industrial automation, and more.
