Abstract
Abstract The Low Energy Adaptive Hierarchy is perhaps the most popular hierarchical protocol (LEACH). LEACH is a hierarchical structure that implements the creation of a disseminated cluster; nodes select themselves as the head node with any probability at any point in it. In view of the fact that a wireless node may only be configured with a restricted power supply, energy consumption is considered to be the key design target. In many implementations, it is not feasible to substitute energy sources, and therefore the life cycle of the node shows a heavy dependency on the battery life. With the aim of leveraging the network life cycle by applying clustering designs, several algorithms have been published. The paper presents numerous routing protocol definitions to save resources and prolong the existence of the sensor network. WSN applications, such as communication architectures, security and management, still have several problems to be resolved. We will close the distance between technology and implementation by addressing these problems.
