Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks: Performance Comparison of EAMMH and LEACH Protocols Using MATLAB

Article Preview

Abstract:

Conservation of the energy available in each sensor node and increasing network lifetime are most important design issues for a wireless sensor network (WSN). Many routing algorithms have been developed in this regard. Out of all these, clustering algorithms have gained a lot of importance in increasing the network lifetime thereby the efficiency of the nodes in it. Clustering provides an effective way for prolonging the lifetime of WSN. This paper elaborately compares the two renowned routing protocols namely, LEACH and EAMMH supported by simulations scenarios, and analysis of the results against known metrics with energy and network lifetime being major among them.
