The technology revolution in wireless communications and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) directly affects the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which are used in several application areas, including the military, home, and environment. One of the best categories of routing networks in WSNs are hierarchical protocols (cluster-based). The wellknown protocols in this category include the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH). However, the LEACH is vulnerable to many attacks. To provide cryptographic protection against outsider attacks, a modified version of LEACH, called Enhancing Secure LEACH (MS-LEACH) protocol, is used. MS-LEACH enhances security but increases power consumption. To maintain an acceptable level of security and decrease the power consumption of secure LEACH protocols, the present research proposes a Secure Lightweight LEACH (SLWLEACH) scheme. The simulation results show that this proposed SLW-LEACH protocol outperforms the MS-LEACH in terms of ne

Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been expanded from industrial operation to daily common use. With the pace of development, a good number of state-of-the-art routing protocols have been proposed for WSN. Among many of these protocols, hierarchical or cluster-based protocol technique is adopted from the wired network because of its scalability, better manageability, and implicit energy efficiency. In this chapter, the authors have surveyed Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy, Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems, Adaptive Periodic Threshold-Sensitive Energy Efficient Sensor Network, and Hybrid Energy-Efficient Distributed Routing Protocols. These protocols exhibit notable characteristics and advantages compared to their contemporaries. Again, context aware computing and applications have been greatly emphasized in recent articles by renowned technologists. This approach is considered as a momentous technology that will change the way of interaction with information devices. Accordingly, context aware clustering technique carries a great deal of importance among WSN routing protocols. Therefore, the authors have investigated noteworthy context aware routing protocols such as: Context Adaptive Clustering, Data-Aware Clustering Hierarchy, Context-Aware Clustering Hierarchy, and Context-Aware Multilayer Hierarchical Protocol. Their investigation and analysis of these protocols has been included in this chapter with useful remarks. Context awareness is considered an integral part of Body Sensor Networks (BSN), which is one kind of WSN. Thus, the authors have also discussed issues related to context aware techniques used in BSN.

The most important consideration in designing protocols for wireless sensor networks is the energy constraint of nodes because in most cases battery recharging is inconvenient or impossible. Therefore, many researches have been done to overcome this demerit. Clustering is one of the main approaches in designing scalable and energy-efficient protocols for wireless sensor networks. The cluster heads take the task of data aggregation and data routing to decrease the amount of communication and this prolongs the network lifetime. LEACH protocol is one of the famous of them. In this paper, we proposed a novel scheme to investigate the cluster, the Fuzzy Logic Cluster Leach Protocol (FUZZY-LEACH), which uses Fuzzy Logic Inference System (FIS) in the cluster process. We demonstrate that using multiple parameters in cluster reduces energy consumption. We compare our technique with the LEACH protocol to show that using a multi parameter FIS enhances the network lifetime significantly. Simulation results demonstrate that the network lifetime achieved by the proposed method could be increased by nearly 28.5% more than that obtained by LEACH protocol in  scenario, and by nearly 26.4% more than that LEACH protocol in  scenario.


The zone of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is one of the developing and quickly developing fields in the logical world. This has realized growing ease, low-control and multiwork sensor hubs. Nonetheless, the real certainty that sensor hubs come up short on vitality rapidly has been an issue and numerous vitality effective directing conventions have been proposed to take care of this issue and safeguard the life span of the network. The proposed EEDBLEACH chooses bunch head with most elevated leftover vitality in every communication round of transmission and furthermore considers, the briefest good ways from the base station to the hubs in the group. By accepting the separation as a parameter which diminishes the vitality utilization. The EEDBLEACH Protocol is correlation with the current LEACH convention. Reproduction results demonstrate that EEDBLEACH Protocol drags out the lifetime of the network


In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) lifetime of the system relies upon the vitality of the hubs, where vitality utilization is for the most part utilized for information transmission as opposed to detecting and preparing. A critical test in remote sensor systems is the ideal utilization of hub assets. Bunching of sensor hubs helps to utilize the hub vitality ideally and delay the lifetime of vitality compelled remote sensor arrange. Also, in WSN, the decision of steering convention assumes a significant job in using the vitality of hubs effectively. In this paper, another A2S LEACH (Active ↔Sleep - Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) directing strategy is proposed, which joins the two significant classes of various leveled conventions in particular bunch based methodology and chain based methodology. The proposed system is reproduced utilizing NS2 and the outcomes are examined. Reenactment results shows that the proposed A2S LEACH steering convention altogether diminishes vitality utilization and expands the all-out lifetime of the remote sensor organize when contrasted with the LEACH convention.

Wireless Sensor Networks are widely used nowadays to support the decision-makers in different applications by monitoring and collecting the environmental parameters in specific areas. Sensors are deployed in such areas either randomly or formally. In a high-density Wireless Sensor Network, several sensors are randomly deployed in a small area. This will make the adjacent sensors collect same data and send them to the sink, which will increase the power consumption in those sensors. Adjacent sensors are considered critical because of their effect on the network performance. In this paper, the effect of the adjacent sensors is minimized because of the above-mentioned criticality and performance influence of these sensors. The proposed mechanism is evaluated by using MATLAB simulator and is then compared with the low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. Results prove that the proposed mechanism outperforms the LEACH protocol by 21% in terms of the network lifetime and by 18% in terms of the number of the transmitted packets to the cluster heads and reduces the number of the transmitted packets to the base station by approximately 3% by avoiding the duplicated packets.
