A clustering algorithm is a key technique used to increase the scalability and lifetime of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, we propose and evaluate a distributed energy-efficient clustering algorithm for heterogeneous WSNs, which is called Position-Based Clustering (PBC). This protocol is an improvement of LEACH-E. In PBC, the cluster-heads are elected by using probabilities ...

The traditional Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol is a clustering-based protocol. The uneven selection of cluster heads results in premature death of cluster heads and premature blind nodes inside the clusters, thus reducing the overall lifetime of the network. With a full consideration of information on energy and distance distribution of neighboring nodes inside t...

Wireless sensor network is an emerging field leading to the various applications worldwide. Small nodes being used are capable enough to sensing, computation, collection and forwarding the data to the Base Station. Battery source is one of the most prominent concerning issue in making the sensor network running for performing various assigned tasks. This battery source has all business with the...

An energy efficient routing protocol is the major attentiveness for researcher in field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, we present some energy efficient hierarchal routing protocols, prosper from conventional Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol. Fundamental objective of our consideration is to analyze, how these extended routing protocols work in...

It is the core issue of researching that how to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor network. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a clustering protocol LEACH-PF, which is a multihop routing algorithm with energy potential field of divided clusters. In LEACH-PF, the network is divided into a number of subnetworks and each subnetwork has a cluster head. These clusters construct an inter...

Abstract This paper suggests an algorithm which increases the energy efficiency based on LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)[1] for sensor network routing. Due to the random cluster head election process, LEACH does not guarantee the optimization for the number and position of cluster heads. Also it results in inefficiency in energy consumption. This paper suggests improved cluster...

Energy efficiency has always remained a pressing matter in the world of Wireless Sensor Networks. Irrespective of the number of routing protocols that exist for Wireless Sensor Networks, only a handful can be named as efficient. Yet above all these routing protocols stands the emblematic one, the LEACH protocol. This research work is aimed at bringing forth a new routing strategy based on the L...

Wireless sensor network are sophisticated systems that are used to collect data from an inaccessible environment. They consist of base station and hundred to thousands of sensor nodes. Nodes in the sensor network are constrained by energy, processing power and memory. The sensor networks where base station is very distant from the sensor field, the energy efficiency in the working of sensor net...
