Energy-Efficient Clustering and Localization Technique Using Genetic Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

Algorithm 1

Pseudocode for the GA.

(1)	Select: primary population
(2)	Estimate: the individual capabilities of respective participant of the population
(3)	Repeat
	Choose optimally performed participant to replicate
Using a genetic operation (mutation and crossover), breed another generation and produce offspring
Estimate the discrete capabilities of the reproduced offspring
Substitute underperformed section of the population using the reproduced offspring
(4)	Until <criteria are met>.
