Abstract—One of the most challenging tasks in constructing a routing model for a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is ensuring energy efficiency. Various energy-efficient routing strategies are developed to guide data packets across Cluster Heads (CH) along secure paths. However, within the context of a WSN, achieving both network longevity and substantial scalability proves to be a formidable challenge. Traditional trust-based routing solutions are inadequate in offering security against attacks, and as a result, trust management remains a significant obstacle in routing. To address the need for routing data packets securely and efficiently to their intended receivers, a novel routing model is devised. This model employs the Trust Routing based on Mud Ring Optimization (TR-MRO) algorithm. By incorporating the principles of the TR-MRO algorithm, which takes into account recent trust, direct trust, indirect trust, and probability requirements, the proposed model guides the routing process through CHs. Through the TR-MRO algorithm, the most optimal and secure path for data transfer is determined based on fitness considerations. The performance of the proposed network is evaluated in terms of several key metrics, including network lifetime (3050 rounds), delay (0.03s), throughput (0.93kbps), trust (0.9), and packet delivery ratio (0.98). The evaluation is conducted in comparison to existing models, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
