Abstract
Energy efficiency has always remained a pressing matter in the world of Wireless Sensor Networks. Irrespective of the number of routing protocols that exist for Wireless Sensor Networks, only a handful can be named as efficient. Yet above all these routing protocols stands the emblematic one, the LEACH protocol. This research work is aimed at bringing forth a new routing strategy based on the LEACH protocol, which aims at improving the energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks and applying the given clustering technique, in randomly deployed and fixed sensor network simulation environment using MATLAB. In depth simulations have proven that the proposed clustering strategy gives better performance compared to LEACH based on the lifetime of the Nodes. A comparative analysis of the rate of energy consumed on various node deployment strategies has also been carried out.
