Improvement in LEACH Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract: A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises of expansive number of spatially dispersed, wirelessly associated, self-representing sensor nodes, which are for the most part sent in harsh conditions. These sensor nodes require vitality to detect process and transmit data, however their vitality is limited. Therefore, there is a need to plan a vitality effective convention to broaden the lifetime of a WSN. LEACH is a protocol that is energy efficient, in this paper a concept of intermediate and advanced nodes is introduced to improve network lifetime of the energy efficient protocol such as LEACH.
