Purpose Since communication usually accounts as the foremost problem for power consumption, there are some approaches, such as topology control and network coding (NC), for diminishing the activity of sensors' transceivers. If such approaches are employed simultaneously, then the overall performance does raise as expected. In a wireless sensor network (WSN), the linear NC has been shown to enhance the performance of network throughput and reduce delay. However, the NC condition of existing NC-aware routings may experience the issue of false-coding effect in some scenarios and usually neglect node energy, which highly affects the energy efficiency performance. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new NC scheduling in a WSN with the intention of maximizing the throughput and minimizing the energy consumption of the network. Design/methodology/approach The improved meta-heuristic algorithm called the improved mutation-based lion algorithm (IM-LA) is used to solve the problem of NC scheduling in a WSN. The main intention of implementing improved optimization is to maximize the throughput and minimize the energy consumption of the network during the transmission from the source to the destination node. The parameters like topology and time slots are taken for optimizing in order to obtain the concerned objective function. While solving the current optimization problem, it has considered a few constraints like timeshare constraint, data-flow constraint and domain constraint. Thus, the network performance is proved to be enhanced by the proposed model when compared to the conventional model. Findings When 20 nodes are fixed for the convergence analysis, performed in terms of multi-objective function, it is noted that during the 400th iteration, the proposed IM-LA was 10.34, 13.91 and 50% better than gray wolf algorithm (GWO), firefly algorithm (FF) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), respectively, and same as LA. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed IM-LA p
