LEACH Partition Topology for Wireless Sensor Network

LEACH has major issues regarding the number of clusters formed. The fluctuation significantly number of clusters in each round destabilizes the wireless sensor network (WSN) architecture. In order to produce a better lifetime on the architecture of WSN, LEACH partition topology (LEACH-PT) is proposed in this paper. In LEACH-PT, cluster head (CH) is chosen by the base station (BS). It can guarantee the number of clusters formed is fixed on each round. In addition, this action will also minimize the burden of energy consumption at each node, resulting network lifetime better than LEACH. In addition, the distribution node is done evenly to the specific provisions than the existing random topology on LEACH. It is also a major focus on the LEACH-PT algorithm. The result of the simulation using network simulator 2 shows that LEACH-PT has significant better performance in term of nodes lifetime than that of LEACH.
