Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract: A Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) is a network composed of many sensor nodes distributed in a region,
and is used to monitor and gather information about certain phenomena in the
physical environment. A sensor node typically has limited power, which must be
taken into consideration in designing the routing protocol of a WSN. One of the
routing protocols that can increase the energy efficiency of WSN is Low Energy
Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH). In this research, the performance of
LEACH, namely energy consumption and lifetime is evaluated using NS-2.
Simulation results show that the number of nodes and clusters affect the
optimum number of clusters and the device lifetime, which in turn will affect
the energy consumption level as well as the energy efficiency.
