Hierarchical routing approach-based energy optimization in wireless sensor networks

Published:24 October 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

We propose a critical improvement of the LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) routing protocol for the optimization of the energy consumption as well as memory occupation of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Our protocol LEACH-M uses a cascade of clustering algorithms, every step of which chooses the next one. We expect at best an improvement of 5% of energy consumption and since the lifetime of the application is itself improved the amount of data routed is improved in the same amount. Of course, testing our approach using it along a comparative study with the standard LEACH confirms our expectation.
