Abstract :
LEACH is one classical protocol in wireless sensor network, which is a clustering-based protocol with good performance. In this paper, an improved routing algorithm based on LEACH protocol will be proposed, which involves cluster head choosing, multi-hop routing and the building of its path. Simulation in MATLAB, an improved routing algorithm has higher energy utilizing rate, and it helps prolong network´s lifetime.
