DE-LEACH: Distance and Energy Aware LEACH

Wireless sensor network consists of large number of tiny sensor nodes which are usually deployed in a harsh environment. Self configuration and infrastructure less are the two fundamental properties of sensor networks. Sensor nodes are highly energy constrained devices because they are battery operated devices and due to harsh environment deployment it is impossible to change or recharge their ...

Improvement on LEACH: Seeded LEACH-KED

This paper summarizes the work used to improve low energy adaptive cluster hierarchy (LEACH) algorithm and proposes a new protocol “Seeded LEACH-KED” in order to increase the network lifetime and then compare its result with the LEACH , LEACH-C and LEACH-KED. Prolonging network lifetime is the way to provide energy efficient WSNs. This research is inspired by the fact that LEACH occupies a very...

Criticism from Homer to Aristotle

CRITICISM as an instinctive reaction to the performance of poetry is as old as song,” writes George Kennedy in beginning theCambridge History of Literary Criticism, and Kenneth Dover reminds readers of the Frogs that “in pre-literate cultures the composition of songs is a process in which discussion and criticism, often passionate, play an important part—and inevitably so, because aesthetic rea...

This argument leads to a contradictory result that comp...
