Dengyin Zhang · Electronic Engineer · 2008
This paper introduces the concept,characteristic and application of Wireless Sensor Networks,in particular on several typical cluster-based routing protocols,such as LEACH,LEACH-EE,DEEAC,LEACH-NEW,LEACH-C,TEEN,and PEGASIS.These protocols all use the architecture of cluster,and have their own way in cluster head choosing,data transmission within clusters and between cluster heads,etc,which are applied in different situation.The fundamentals,merits and disadvantages of those protocols are analyzed and their performances are compared.
