Non-Homogeneous Cluster Head Selection for Energy-Aware Hierarchical Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), sensor nodes are equipped with a limited energy battery. Energy consumption is a very challenging field in WSN. In this paper, we modify the Low Energy Aware Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and the Extended LEACH (XLEACH) protocols to increase the lifetime of the net...
