DMHT-LEACH: Dynamic multi-hop technique for wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Many protocols have been emerged for facing the problem of energy consumption in the wireless sensor network (WSN). Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is one of these protocols, which achieved a lot of spreading. In this paper, a dynamic multi-hop technique (DMHT-LEACH) protocol is proposed based on the LEACH protocol. The DMHT-LEACH protocol suggests a dynamic technique for routing the data of cluster head (CH) through other CHs to the Base Station (BS). The simulation results show that the DMHT-LEACH improves the lifetime and throughput of the sensor network comparing with the IMHT-LEACH and the conventional LEACH protocols.
