Implementation of LEACH protocol in Wireless Sensor Node Using PSoC

A large number of small tiny device called sensor nodes are use to develop wireless sensor network that can be effectively used as a tool for monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure and motion at different locations. There are two major issues, one is energy-efficient routing protocol and other is overall lifetime of the sensor network. This project focuses on reducing the power consumption and increase overall life of a wireless sensor networks. Therefore, first energy efficient routing protocol named LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) has been used. For developing any wireless sensor node which also consists of radio and processor so we are using CyFi low power RF module and PSoC respectively. In this paper we are taking the features of CyFi radio and LEACH protocols, and by using NS2 simulator we tried to come up with the experimental result that shows this LEACH protocol analyse in terms of network lifetime and power consumption minimization.
