LEACHC: An Improved Centralized Clustering Algorithm Based on LEACH for WSNs

Detailed Documentation

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) employ a centralized clustering algorithm known as LEACHC, which represents an enhanced version of the LEACH protocol. This algorithm introduces improvements and optimizations over the original LEACH approach to achieve better energy efficiency and extend network lifetime. LEACHC is widely implemented in WSN environments and effectively addresses several limitations of traditional clustering algorithms while delivering superior network performance and scalability. The implementation typically involves centralized cluster-head selection mechanisms and optimized energy-aware routing protocols to minimize node energy consumption.
