Abstract
Although Wireless Microsensor Networks have been widely employed for numerous security related applications, the lifespan of microsensor nodes and energy efficiency have always been a challenge. LEACH protocol has proved to be a milestone in this field by providing the methodology of forming clusters of the sensor nodes in the network. Moreover, each cluster has a cluster head (CH) node which needs to be selected strategically for desirable network performance. This paper presents a variant for LEACH protocol for CH selection by using an optimization technique called Simulated Raindrop algorithm that ameliorates lifespan of microsensor nodes, throughput and energy efficacy in the network. The CH nodes are well-dispersed in the network to reduce energy loss of microsensor nodes for data transmission as well as reception and successful data packet delivery to base station. The results are analyzed and compared to LEACH-C, LEACH-GA and I-LEACH protocol on the basis of network lifetime, throughput and remaining energy in the network have surpassed them.
