Abstract:

Wireless sensor network (WSN) plays significant role in wireless communications. The major constraint with WSN is limited battery power nodes. In this report, we propose a modification to a popular protocol for sensor networks called LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). LEACH is known as one of the best hierarchical routing protocols concerning energy efficiency in the networks. In this work, we enhance the life span of the nodes in the LEACH protocol using Modified-LEACH. The results of Modified-LEACH are further improved using Genetic Algorithm, which is more effective in enhancing the network lifetime when compared to LEACH.
