Improved Cluster Head Selection Algorithm for LEACH Protocol
Enhancement and Simulation of LEACH Protocol's Cluster Head Selection Algorithm - The improved LEACH-H protocol incorporates residual energy considerations during cluster head election by setting energy thresholds to prevent low-energy nodes from becoming cluster heads. It introduces a cluster head adjustment process that eliminates tightly neighboring cluster heads and adds necessary ones, addressing LEACH protocol limitations to balance network energy consumption and extend network lifetime. Network simulations validate the algorithm's feasibility.
