Research of improvement on LEACH and SEP routing protocols in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

The LEACH and SEP routing protocols centered on wireless sensor networks are highlighted in this paper. The number of sensor nodes in WSN is ample and a single node is astonishingly limited in resource. The principal objective of the routing protocol design is to advance the energy efficiency and prolong the network lifetime. This paper has selected the LEACH routing protocol as our research focus to analyze the specific implementation of the routing algorithm, energy of sensor nodes and network lifetime. MATLAB network simulation tool is employed to simulate the routing protocol and data analysis.
