Energy Efficient Clustering Protocols in WSNs: Performance Analysis and Comparison of EEAHP Protocol with LEACH and EAMMH using MATLAB

Recent development of the Internet of Things (IoT) dramatically increased the importance of energy-efficiency of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). In this paper, comparing and analyzing the performance of Enhanced Energy-Aware Multi-Hop Hierarchical Protocol (EEAHP) with the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy protocol (LEACH) and Energy Aware Multi-hop Multi-path Hierarchical protocol (EAMMH) for Wireless Sensor Networks. The average energy of each sensor node, number of dead nodes, number of packets send to Base Station in each round are the main metrics used to analyze the performance of these protocols. MATLAB is used to perform analytical simulations.
