Intelligent on Demand Clustering Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

WSNs have become one of the most widely used approaches in a range of applications, including agriculture, smoke detectors, health care, and factory monitoring. WSN provides a number of benefits, including low cost, compact size, multifunctionality, self-organization, and the ability to be routed via WSN protocols. WSN is being used in more practical applications than ever before. Nonetheless, one of the most critical problems is energy shortage. It limits WSN technology from being fully utilized. Sensors are typically powered by batteries, which have a short lifespan. Even if renewable energy sources (such as solar or piezoelectric devices) are used as additional energy in wireless sensor networks, there is still room for efficient energy consumption. In our research, we identify the shortcomings of the existing LEACH protocol, suggest a novel methodology that improves the LEACH protocol, and compare it to the basic LEACH approach. Our research aims to increase network lifespan by reducing energy consumption, primarily based on limitations of the LEACH and its related algorithms.
