Inter Cluster Balanced LEACH Algorithm for Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

In today’s world, wireless sensor network has been main area of research for different stakeholders. In the past, many routing techniques have been proposed to increase the active period of the Wireless Sensor Networks and cluster-based routing technique has been widely used to attain objective. In the current study, an attempt has been made to contribute in the field of WSN by implementing new Balanced Cluster LEACH (IBLEACH Protocol). The study includes the division of the clustering process into two phases, i.e., intra cluster and inter cluster , which will further help to increase the energy efficiency of the system. The results reveal that the use of IBLEACH protocol makes the network more energy efficient.
