Internet of Things (IoT) technology involves a large number of sensor nodes that generate large amounts of data. Optimal energy consumption of sensor nodes is a major challenge in this type of network. Clustering sensor nodes into separate categories and exchanging information through headers is one way to improve energy consumption. This paper introduces a new clustering-based routing protocol called KHCMSBA. The proposed protocol biologically uses fast and efficient search features inspired by the Krill Herd optimization algorithm based on krill feeding behavior to cluster the sensor nodes. The proposed protocol also uses a mobile well to prevent the hot spot problem. The clustering process at the base station is performed by a centralized control algorithm that is aware of the energy levels and position of the sensor nodes. Unlike protocols in other research, KHCMSBA considers a realistic energy model in the grid that is tested in the Opnet simulator and the results are compared with AFSRP (Artifical Fish Swarm Routing ProtocolThe simulation results show better performance of the proposed method in terms of energy consumption by 12.71%, throughput rate by 14.22%, end-to-end delay by 76.07%, signal-to-noise ratio by 82.82%. 46% compared to the AFSRP protocol
