Behavior analysis of LEACH protocol

Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is an emerging field comprising of sensor nodes with limited resources like power, memory etc. It is used to monitor the remote areas where recharging or replacing the battery power of sensor nodes is not possible. So, energy is a most challenging issue in case of WSN. Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is the first significant protocol which consumes less amount of energy while routing the data to the base station. In this paper LEACH protocol has been analyzed with different percentage of cluster heads at different locations of base station in the network.
