Research on Cluster-Based Routing Protocol with Multi-hop

The clustering routing protocol has excellent network scalability and efficient communication efficiency. This paper has a study on the representation of protocol ----LEACH protocol. We have proposed multi-hop clustering routing protocol for the theory of wireless sensor networks. We can use multi-hop relay to save energy as the energy consumption of the edge node in the cluster considered. Because the multi-hop algorithm will increase the energy consumption of the relay node, we make theory formula derivation and simulation for multi-hop cluster in the ideal case and prove the obvious low-power performance. The lifetime of the global network has been significantly improved. It is important to highly use of energy for wireless sensor network.
