Communication Design Between Sensor Node with Cluster Head using LEACH Algorithm

A wireless sensor network is a small device that isoperated by a battery as limited energy power. The cluster method is a method that is often applied to routing protocols to solve problems that exist in WSN technology such as delay and data loss. This study designed a communication protocol with the formation of a cluster head by calculating the LEACH algorithm, where the LEACH calculation is designed to determine which nodes will become cluster heads and which are cluster members. The LEACH algorithm has several stages to design the protocol on the WSN, the initial stage ensures that each node becomes a CH, the CH position is not fixed or alternate.
