LEACH protocol Architecture
Randomized rotation of cluster heads among the sensors
All non-cluster head nodes transmit data to their cluster head CH receives this data and performs signal processing functions on the data and transmits data to the BS SEARCH follows a similar architecture albeit with a few improvements Shortcomings of LEACH and Shortcomings of LEACH associated protocols Fail to prolong the round of half alive nodes surviving i.e. the stable period Fail to reduce the duration of the weak sensing period during which there is a sharp deterioration of the sensing ability owing to the spreading blind areas No cluster head emerges during a round and thus, no data transmitted to the base station It has been further observed that the number of live nodes decreases per round whereas the number of dead nodes increases till all nodes in the topology are covered Contd. Improvements in SEARCH SEARCH tries to prevent the scenario occurring in LEACH and LEACH-like protocols of no cluster head emerging during a round Further, it further gives an assurance of an optimal number of cluster heads per round Simulation Parameters ● X and y dimensions of the field:150 X 150 ● Number of nodes: 300 ● Number of cluster heads(assumed beforehand):8 ● Maximum Number of rounds:750 ● Message size in bits :2000 ● Initial Energy of Sensor Nodes: 0.1 Js Average Residual Energy vs Round Number Number of Dead Nodes vs Round Number Count of CHs per round Simulation Parameters Number of Nodes in the space: 300 X & Y dimensions of space/field:150 X 150 Initial Energy of the sensor node: 0.1 Joules Message size in bits:2000 Sink(base station) position: 150 X 150 Maximum number of rounds: 400 ● Initial Energy of Sensor Nodes: 0.1 J Average Residual Energy vs Round Number Number of Dead Nodes vs Round Number Count of CHs per round Simulation Parameters ● X and y dimensions of the field:150 X 150 ● Number of nodes: 300 ● Number of cluster heads(assumed beforehand):10 ● Maximum Number of rounds:200 ● Message size in bits :2000 ● Initial Energy of Sensor Nodes: 0.1 J Average Residual Energy vs Round Number Number of Dead Nodes vs Round Number Simulation Parameters ● 250 rounds Average Residual Energy vs Round Number Number of Dead Nodes vs Round Number Simulation Parameters ● Maximum number of rounds : 150 ● Initial Energy of the sensor nodes: 0.1 ● Alpha = 2 & Beta = 3 Average Residual Energy vs Round Number Number of Dead Nodes vs Round Number Count of Chs per round Shortcomings of the CH selection protocol followed by SEARCH ● Based on my simulations, even though the SEARCH protocol selects a cluster head for every round , it appears to select it every 4 to 5 rounds ● One of the major advantages of the SEARCH protocol is that, unlike LEACH, all the sensor nodes do not die off this allows the election of a cluster head every round and hence data reaching the destination Network Lifetime in WSN ● the time at which the first network node runs out of energy to send a packet, because to lose a node could mean that the network could lose some functionalities. ● normal nodes collect data and transmit to a cluster head ● advanced nodes are nodes having more initial energy then the rest ● weak sensing period, the rounds cover from half alive nodes surviving to the end of WSNs operating round or the entire WSN operating period. I need to look into this ● Thats why the advanced nodes have an initial energy of (1+α)Eo where Eo is the initial energy of the normal nodes
