A Grid based LEACH-C Algorithm for Energy Efficient Routing In WSN

Lifetime maximization: Energy/Power Consumption of the sensing device should be minimized and sensor nodes should be energy efficient since their limited energy resource determines their lifetime. To conserve power the node should shut off the radio power supply when not in use. We have measured performance of three algorithms in these experiments. Parameters for performance measurements are Residual Energy, Dead Nodes, Packets sent to BS. These parameters are shown in above figures and are plotted against number of rounds. If we consider residual energy and total number of rounds then LEACH-C and the grid based LEACH-C perform better than random LEACH. The residual energy at the end of total number of round shows that LEACH-C and the grid based LEACH-C most uniformly distributed energy dissipation among nodes and LEACH performs. For network integration or dead nodes criterion both algorithms perform far better than other algorithms. For number of packets sent to BS criterion the grid based LEACH-C performs better than other algorithms.
