Water-environment monitoring network (WMN) is a wireless sensor network based real-time system, which collects, transmits, analyzes and processes water-environment parameters in large area. Both cluster selection mechanisms and energy saving strategies play an important role on designing network routing protocols for the WMN. Since those existing routing algorithms can not be used directly in t...

Due to the necessity of saving energy cost in low-powered devices, extending the lifetime of a sensor node powered by battery in both homogeneous and heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is area of interest. To save battery power in sensor networks, many research works including low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) and its variants use clustering techniques to reduce energy...

This paper gives a brief description about some routing protocols like EEE LEACH, LEACH and Direct Transmission protocol (DTx) in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and a comparison study of these protocols based on some performance matrices. Addition to this an attempt is done to calculate their transmission time and throughput. To calculate these, MATLAB environment is used. Finally, on the basis ...

Security of Wireless sensor network (WSN) turn out to be a very important issue with the rapid development of WSN that is vulnerable to a wide range of attacks due to deployment in the hostile environment and having limited resources. Clustered Networks have been proposed to reduce the power consumption in sensor networks. LEACH is a clustering based protocol that lessens energy dissipation in ...

Clustering protocols effectively utilize network resources for maximizing the lifetime of a mobile wireless sensor network. However, most of these protocols do not address the sensing coverage efficiency. Recently developed protocols, like LEACH-VF and K-LEACH-VF, take advantage of node mobility to combine sensor placement with clustering protocols to achieve the goal of jointly optimizing the ...

This paper discusses advantages of LEACH Algorithm and the existing improved model which takes the famous hierarchy clustering routing protocol LEACH Algorithm as researching object. Then the paper indicates the problem that in the algorithm capacity factor of cluster head node is not taken into account leading the structure of clusters to be not so reasonable. This research discusses an energy...

Wireless Sensor Nodes are deployed in the hostile region to help the user by providing data to the user for the review purpose. These nodes are having limited power as they are battery operated. Hence, routing protocol used to deliver data to end users must be energy efficient to provide prolonged network lifetime. In this paper, we have proposed a decentralized clustering scheme based on seque...

Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is one of the most popular distributed cluster-based routing protocols in wireless sensor networks. Clustering algorithm of the LEACH is simple but offers no guarantee about even distribution of cluster heads over the network. And it assumes that each cluster head transmits data to sink over a single hop. In this paper, we propose a new method fo...

Increased use of Wireless sensor Networks (WSNs) in variety of applications has enabled the designers to create autonomous sensors, which can be deployed randomly, without human supervision, for the purpose of sensing and communicating valuable data. Many energy-efficient routing protocols are designed for WSNs based on clustering structure. In this paper, we have proposed iMODLEACH protocol wh...
