Minimising energy consumption in wireless sensor network by enhancement of leach protocol

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is smart technology that consists of complex components, in which low battery life and energy consumption have become serious issues. Currently, the application of WSN keeps increasing, while the problem of energy consumptions also increases. Several studies have been conducted to overcome such issues, but still the issue remain challenging. To offer possible solutions, there is a need to introduce new technique that regulates the problems. This paper proposed possible schemes for enhancing energy saving in WSN by improving the algorithm “Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy” (LEACH) Protocol. The research also analyses how to minimise energy dissipation and power required in WSN taking into consideration the total power, transmission frequency, transmission distance and transmission time between the sensors in a network. It also presents energy manipulations that help in solving the mentioned issues in various application of WSN.
