Abstract

This paper presents a level based clustering routing scheme to solve these problems. There are many routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Network in the literature, while this paper studies the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, which is a well referred protocol for WSN, and put forward its methodology. Every node can have a level number according to their hops to the Base Station. Then the level information is used to select Cluster Head (CH) and Second Cluster Head (SCH). Like LEACH, this paper also divided into rounds to setup clusters and transmit data. But it has different two kinds of cluster heads and in each round CH do the different things. When CH is selected, it will pick out a SCH from its cluster and the SCH can substitute the CH when CH work for a stable period. This methodology improves the choice method of cluster head and the communication mode from CH to the Base Station.
