PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF LEACH-C AND EAMMH PROTOCOLS IN WSN AND USING MATLAB

Abstract

A proficient and good design for a WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) has become a main area of research these days. We have applications of WSN in many areas like health care, remote area monitoring, Environmental sensing, Agriculture sector, Military operations etc. There are a number of difficulties in WSN because of the areas in which these networks are deployed and the limited resources that we have in WSN. The major challenge in these networks is the proficient utilization of the limited power supply. All the protocols in WSN should be designed by keeping limited power supply constraints in mind. In this project, the intentions were to simulate and compare the two famous Energy Efficient protocols. Researchers have introduced many routing systems to enhance numerous applications for cluster-based networks. By using these routing strategies, routing algorithms can extend the life and performance of the network. The highlight of cluster-based networks is to limit performance fluctuations and shifts in the system. In this project, the intentions were to simulate the two energy efficient protocols and compare them. LEACH-C (Centralized Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) and homogeneous EAMMH (Energy-Aware Multi-Hop Multi-Path Hierarchical) routing techniques are compared for basic scenarios like dead nodes and energy dissipation. These protocols are intricately compared for a few general situations, and a brief investigation of simulation results against the lifetime of the network and average energy of nodes is done. The results obtained show that the EAMMH protocol outperforms LEACH-C in every scenario.
