Improvement on LEACH Protocol of Wireless Sensor Network (VLEACH)

This paper presents a new version of LEACH protocol called VLEACH which aims to reduce energy consumption within the wireless network. We evaluate both LEACH and V-LEACH through extensive simulations using OMNET++ simulator which shows that VLEACH performs better than LEACH protocol.
