An Improved Algorithm of Wireless Sensor Networks Routing Protocol Based on LEACH by Jinshen Weng, Huabiao Qin, Zongguo Zhang

“…One of the most popular research focuses of wireless sensor network is postponing the life cycle of sensor network as well as reducing energy consumption.An efficient clustering routing algorithm based on LEACH（low energy adaptive clustering hierarch）was presented，which is the representative of hierarchy based protocol in wireless sensor network.The residual energy，average energy and maximum energy are considered in this algorithm while electing the cluster header.It can also limit the number of members of each cluster.At the same time，it can produce the first cluster header among the cluster heads which will use the multi-hop mode to balance the load of network.The simulation results show that this improved algorithm can reduce the energy consumption，extend the network life cycle and ensure the load balance of the system.…”
