Title
Stable cluster head selection in LEACH protocol: a cross-layer approach
Abstract
Optimal cluster head count plays a key role in determining the efficiency of a cluster based routing protocol. If the cluster head count will be more than the optimal value, aggregation advantage cannot be taken fully. If clusters are less, then there will be more aggregation load on the cluster head and communication load on the cluster members as they have to communicate with cluster head over long distances. LEACH (Low Energy Clustering Adaptive Hierarchy) protocol, a popular clustering protocol, suffers from the cluster head variability problem. In this paper, we propose an approach which uses cross layer information to overcome this problem. NS-2 simulations show that improved LEACH increased the network lifetime i.e FND (First Node Death) time by 22%, HNA (Half Nodes Alive) by 24% and LND (Last Node Death) time by 12% respectively.
