EDMHT-LEACH: Enhancing the performance of the DMHT-LEACH protocol for wireless sensor networks
Emad Alnawafa, Ion Marghescu · 2017
Energy consumption problem is considered an extremely important problem that faces the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). For this reason, a lot of efficient energy protocols have been developed in order to reduce the energy consumption, as well as to prolong the lifetime of the sensor networks. The DMHT-LEACH protocol is one of these protocols. It proposes a dynamic technique for facilitating the data transmission of the cluster heads (CHs) to the base station (BS), which is usually accomplished through the network levels. In this paper, the EDMHT-LEACH protocol suggests an approach for enhancing the performance of the DMHT-LEACH protocol. The evaluation results show that the proposed protocol has improved the lifetime, the stability and the throughput of the network compared with the DMHT-LEACH and the LEACH protocols.
