An Acknowledgement Based System for Forest Fire Detection via Leach Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents an acknowledgement based system for disaster management by utilizing wireless sensor network, which sense the environmental change and based on that communicate between the nodes. For the communication purpose, Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) algorithm has been used. The LEACH algorithm is hierarchical in nature and therefore, helps in maintaining connection among the nodes, which leads to effective communication. Disaster is an activity, which can occur anytime and anywhere without prior information, which affects the whole mankind, human, animal and their prosperity. Since, disaster is a natural activity, no one can stop it, but a system can be developed to alert the people before the occurrence, so that many lives can be saved. The focus of this paper is towards utilizing the sensor network and LEACH algorithm for the development of an alert system, which works on the temperature. A threshold based mechanism is used to save the energy that is the system works only when the temperature reaches to its threshold value otherwise do not waste the energy by routing the data continuously.
