Simulation and analysis of an improved LEACH algorithm in wireless sensor network

Abstract

The traditional LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) algorithm has some disadvantages in wireless sensor network,an improved LEACH algorithm is proposed in this paper. In order to analysis the performance of the proposed LEACH algorithm,a network model is designed.The traditional LEACH algorithm and the improved LEACH algorithm in death nodes are simulated and analysed. The data transmission of the traditional LEACH and the improved LEACH are studied. The simulation results show that the proposed LEACH algorithm is effective.The proposed LEACH algorithm is superior to the traditional LEACH algorithm.
