MATLAB Simulation of LEACH Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

This project implements a MATLAB simulation of the LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol to study its performance characteristics and effectiveness in wireless sensor networks. The simulation models key aspects including cluster head election, energy consumption calculations, and data transmission phases. Key implementation features: - Cluster formation algorithm using probabilistic threshold calculations - Energy dissipation model based on transmitter/receiver electronics and amplifier power consumption - Round-based protocol operation with dynamic cluster head rotation - Performance metrics tracking (network lifetime, energy efficiency, data delivery rate) The code structure includes modules for network initialization, cluster head selection using rand() function comparisons with threshold values, and energy consumption calculations based on distance-dependent path loss models. The simulation allows parameter configuration for node count, network dimensions, and energy parameters to analyze protocol behavior under different conditions.
