Even after 16 years of existence, low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is still gaining the attention of the research community working in the area of wireless sensor network (WSN). This itself shows the importance of this protocol. Researchers have come up with various and diverse modifications of the LEACH protocol. Successors of LEACH protocol are now available from single...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprise of large number of sensor nodes, which sense and measure various physical phenomena related parameters and transmit the measured data towards the base station by making use of the neighbouring nodes acting as relay nodes. In order to extend the lifetime of a WSN application, it is necessary to distribute the energy dissipated among the nodes evenly in the network...
In recent years, several protocols have been proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in many different purposes. Wireless Sensor Networks have the limitations such as energy source, memory size and processing power. Therefore, developing an energy-efficient routing protocol is an interested research work in this field. The routing protocols in sensor networks are able to classify into three categories...
In many typical wireless sensor networks, the nodes are fixed, where cluster based protocols like LEACH were suitable for routing. However, it is another story when the nodes are mobile. This paper proposes a novel routing protocol supporting node mobility called “2L-LEACH-M”, it divides the nodes into two levels: level 1 (cluster-head level) or level 0 (member level), which makes mobile nodes find...
The optimal number of cluster heads is an important parameter of wireless sensor network performance. Network nodes will consume more energy if the number of cluster heads is too much or too little. This paper focuses on novel calculation method for optimal number of cluster heads. Base on the analysis of LEACH energy dissipation model, novel calculation method is derived from the total energy dissipation...
Mobility of sensor nodes posed new challenges particularly in energy consumption and demands researchers' attention. Some real applications impose combined environments of fixed and mobile sensor nodes in the same network, while others demand a complete mobile sensors environment. Packet loss that occurs due to mobility of the sensor nodes is one of main challenges in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)...
In sensor networks, clustering protocol such as LEACH is an efficient method to increase whole networks lifetime. However, this protocol result in high energy consumption at the cluster head node. Hence, this protocol must changes the cluster formation and cluster head node in each round to prolong the network lifetime. But this method also causes a high amount of energy consumption during the set-up...
