Improved distance energy based LEACH protocol for cluster head election in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

In past years, the applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have developed extremely. In WSNs there is one procedure used for the increment of the lifecycle of the network and deliver additional efficient operative procedures known as clustering. Clustering is a way of dividing the recognizing arena of sensor network into an amount of clusters. Every node selects its leader named cluster or group head. Therefore the choice of cluster head is an important procedure for exploiting the lifecycle of the network with the support of the distance and energy. This paper recommends a different collecting procedure named as Improved Distance Energy based LEACH (IDE-LEACH) protocol based on energy and distance for homogeneous and heterogeneous WSN. IDE-LEACH uses the enduring energy of the nodes and an expanse of nodes from the sink node. The suggested procedure increases the steadiness, lifespan of the network and simulation outcome displays that the IDE-LEACH is superior to the LEACH.
