Abstract

Battery life is a key issue for an elongated life in WSN. Clustering of nodes is done to achieve the energy conservation in LEACH algorithm. The main objectives of clustering are equal distribution of energy and equal distribution of nodes in space so that less energy is consumed and early deaths of nodes can be delayed. In LEACH both of these objectives can’t be achieved. Further Max-Energy LEACH is able to achieve energy equi-distribution but not the space equi-distribution because CH can be selected from one region only leading to large energy consumption by nodes to send data to CHs. The clustering algorithm while doing its work should pay attention toward the number of nodes a cluster is having. If we can equi-distribute all nodes to cluster then we assume that it may lead to better energy efficiency. This paper discusses the recent developments in WSN in this direction.
