Cluster-Head Election Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on LEACH Protocol

Abstract:

Nowadays, extending the service life of the WSN and reducing energy consumption are very important in the research of sensor networks. This paper proposes LEACH-ICE (LEACH Inner Cluster Election) algorithm based on LEACH algorithm. By adjusting the threshold function of the node selected to be cluster head and communicating with base station when node is closer to the base station, LEACH-ICE elects new cluster head inside the cluster when the resident energy of the former cluster head is lower than standard in order to improve the clustering mechanism. Simulation results show that the algorithm achieves saving energy and extending the service life of the WSN.
