Wireless sensor network (WSN) may be a collection of an outsized number of small nodes which acts as routers also.
These nodes carry very limited power source which is non-rechargeable and non-replaceable which makes a huge issue in
energy consumption. There have been many interests in building and deploying sensor networks during a wide range of
application including battlefield surveillance, smart home environments, habitat exploration of animals and vehicle tracking.
Energy conservation could also be a vital issue for prolonging the lifetime of the network. Because the sensor nodes act like
routers also, the determination of routing technique plays a key role in controlling the consumption of energy. To obtain this
objective, this paper introduces an Energy Efficient and Shortest-Path Routing Protocol based on cuckoo search to assist WSN
in order to increase the lifespan of the network and effectively extending the battery power and decreasing the network overhead
and thereby ensures high packet delivery
