Abstract

The growing popularity of wireless sensor networks increases the need for optimal and energy efficient routing protocols. Among many hierarchical routing protocols, the one which is really worth noticing is the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. Because of its simplicity and distributed operation it has been used as a base for several further protocols such as PEGASIS, HEED, TEEN and APTEEN. This article presents an analysis of the LEACH protocol and suggests a modification to improve its effectiveness by far.
