Janhavi Kshirsagar, Vaibhav Sonaje . Wireless Sensor Networks and the LEACH Protocol: Analysis of Network using Certain Parameters for Clustering and Localization. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 41 ( Sep 2024), 1-6. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024924003
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represent a novel form of communication infrastructure comprising small sensor nodes distributed across an area, tasked with gathering environmental data. This information is relayed to a central base station, referred to as the Sink node. Within WSNs, optimizing energy usage and extending operational lifespan are paramount objec- tives. To achieve efficient and scalable performance, clustering is commonly employed, aiding in the decentralization of network control and facilitating localized communication. Additionally, localization plays a crucial role in pinpointing the geographical coordinates of sensor nodes within WSNs, enhancing their spatial awareness and overall functionality
