Development of Modified LEACH Protocol MATLAB Implementation

This document presents a MATLAB-implemented LEACH protocol code with custom modifications. The LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol represents a fundamental algorithm in wireless sensor networks designed to optimize energy efficiency and extend overall network lifespan. The MATLAB implementation employs key functions for cluster head selection, data aggregation, and energy consumption modeling, incorporating modifications that potentially enhance protocol adaptability to specific network configurations. The code architecture likely includes core components such as: - Stochastic cluster head selection algorithm with rotational leadership - Energy threshold calculations for node participation - TDMA-based scheduling mechanisms for intra-cluster communication - Radio energy dissipation models for transmission and reception operations Using MATLAB's computational capabilities, researchers can efficiently modify parameters like cluster head probability thresholds, network density settings, and energy model coefficients to evaluate protocol performance under various scenarios. This implementation demonstrates ongoing advancements in wireless sensor network protocols, addressing critical challenges in energy conservation and network durability through programmable simulation environments. The modular code structure allows for straightforward integration of additional features such as multi-hop communication or advanced energy harvesting models.
