Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the lifetime of sensor nodes strongly depends on battery power. Clustering provides an effective way for extending the life time of WSN by efficiently transferring data packets from source to sink. LEACH and PEGASIS are two popular hierarchical based routing protocols in WSN. LEACH goes through some limitations due to its cluster-based architecture, while PEGASIS lacks with dynamic nature. In this paper, we introduce an energy efficient routing protocol, named it as Pegasis-LEACH using Uniform distribution of cluster heads (PLEACH-U). The proposed method, PLEACH-U, addresses the hotspot issue and also the aforesaid issues of LEACH and PEGASIS. We show the efficacy our proposed routing protocol using simulations.
