Reviewer 1 Report
- The contribution of the paper can be better explained in Introduction section.
- The basic definition for swarm intelligence can be found in several literature. Therefore, it is suitable to assign a full separate section for this purpose. This section provides nothing new to the paper.
- The title for section 3.1 is not clear enough as it starts after section 3 without any explanation.
- There is more need regarding the related work on this area. Some good examples which can be included are as follows; 1) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnca.2018.08.012 2)https://doi.org/10.1109/TIE.2018.2869345 3)https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnca.2018.06.016
- The abstract and conclusion sections can be improved by concentrating on the approach and the results.
- The description of Algorithm 2 is not clear enough. It seems that from lines 1 to 4 performs the initialization of some variables but it is hard to follow from the text.
- Section 6.4 requires more explanation.

Reviewer 2 Report
MicroController Units (MCU’s) should be changed MicroController Units (MCUs). Is there any special reason the symbol is used? If not, the abbreviation should be changed as the described.
One or more experiments are added, then the quality of this paper could be enhanced. Most of all, it can help readers' understanding on the contributions of this research.
