Enhanced Algorithm for LEACH Protocol with Cluster Head Generation Improvements

Supported by relevant literature, we have developed an improved algorithm for the cluster head generation component of the LEACH protocol. This enhanced algorithm not only improves the performance of the LEACH protocol but also provides better understanding of its working mechanism. The improvement primarily involves optimizing the cluster head selection process through probabilistic threshold calculations and energy-aware node prioritization. Our implementation typically includes modifications to the cluster head election function where nodes determine whether to become cluster heads based on dynamic thresholds that consider residual energy levels and network topology. After our enhancements, the cluster head generation component demonstrates significant performance improvements, making the entire LEACH protocol more efficient and reliable. The algorithm incorporates weighted probability distributions and energy-based thresholds in the cluster head selection phase, ensuring better load balancing among nodes. Both in practical applications and academic research, our improved algorithm holds substantial importance for wireless sensor network optimization and protocol development studies.
