Assessment on An Improved Leach Routing Protocol Using Wireless Sensor Network Energy Efficiency

Abstract

Now wireless sensor networks were first exclusively utilized for military purposes but have now expanded to include a wide range of applications, they have recently drawn much more interest from researchers. A wireless sensor network is completed up of abundant autonomous, disseminated wireless sensor nodes that are dispersed throughout the world at random. The processing power, memory, and battery life of sensor nodes are constrained by their small size. Because of inadequate battery capacity, wireless sensor networks struggle with energy consumption, which shortens the network’s overall lifespan. The problem with energy usage can be solved using clustering approach. Clustering is a notion that has been employed in hierarchical routing protocols. The widely adopted LEACH protocol is a hierarchical routing protocol that tries to lengthen or improve the lifespan of the whole network. Depending on the energy and distance of the sensor nodes organize in the wireless network; this research modified the LEACH protocol, resulting in a new version of LEACH known as modified Energy-Efficient LEACH (IEE—LEACH). To increase lifetime and compare performance with LEACH and E-LEACH, the proposed IEE-LEACH measures residual energy and the distance as of the Cluster head to the Base station in the WSN.
