Renugadevi G., Sumithra M. G. . An Analysis on LEACH-Mobile Protocol for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 65, 21 ( March 2013), 38-42. DOI=10.5120/11211-6462
LEACH and centralized LEACH has demonstrated the possibility of achieving good efficient routing path for wireless sensor network. By taking into consideration the mixed sensory fields with fixed and mobile nodes in a sensor field LEACH and LEACH-C are not appropriate to support mobile sensor nodes. The enclosure of mobility as a new criterion for the cluster creation and maintenance adds new challenges for these clustering schemes. The Mobile LEACH protocol is suitable for mobile wireless sensor networks, which provides a highly adaptive routing scheme to deal with clusterhead selection and frequent topology changes. In this paper the performance of LEACH- Mobile protocol is evaluated and compared with the LEACH protocol based on metrics such as energy consumed, number of alive nodes, packet delivery ratio and packet loss.
