Abstract

The increasing popularity of wireless sensor networks can be attributed to their unique characteristics, which include high density, low power consumption, software programmability, and long-term accuracy. This paper presents a thorough analysis of key parameters for sensor network applications, including network lifetime, packet delivery ratio, energy-efficient transmission, and dead node ratio. This paper examines the effectiveness of clustering in wireless sensor networks for achieving efficiency. The research focuses on the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol and proposes an enhanced algorithm that improves network lifetime, throughput, and the number of living nodes. This paper evaluates the performance of the improved LEACH protocol and compares it to other protocols currently in use. The results indicate that the proposed method significantly improves the performance of the protocol, making it a promising method for efficient routing in wireless sensor networks. This study is an important contribution to the field of wireless sensor networks and can aid in the creation of more efficient and effective protocols for various sensor network applications.
