Design of a Novel Optimized LEACH Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network
摘要
The utilization of limited power supply is the most significant challenge in wireless sensor networks. It is imperative that all protocols in WSN are designed with the constraints of limited power supply in mind. Energy-efficient routing and scheduling algorithms are necessary for wireless sensor networks to ensure better energy efficiency, longer network life, and reliable performance. In this paper we shall discuss various existing LEACH-based routing protocols. Further, a modified routing scheme has been proposed in this paper which is an optimized and better version of LEACH routing protocol. Subsequently, performance of the proposed scheme has been analyzed with respect to LEACH in terms of various performance metrics through simulation using MATLAB.
