An Enhanced Naked Mole Rat Algorithm for Optimal Cross-Layer Solution for Wireless Underground Sensor Networks

Nature-inspired algorithms serve as the backbone of modern computing technology, and over the past three decades, the field has grown enormously. Many applications were solved by such algorithms and are replacing the traditional classical optimization processes. A recent naked mole-rat algorithm (NM...
