The Dependence Between the Number of Rounds And Implemented Nodes in LEACH Routing Protocol-Based Sensor Networks

In the 21st century wireless sensor networks have gained much popularity due to their flexibility. This progress has enabled the use of sensor nodes on an unprecedented scale and opened new opportunities for the so-called ubiquitous computerisation. The total freedom of nodes distribution within the wireless network, where the wireless characteristic is one of the greatest advantages of the use of wireless sensor networks, implies its greatest weakness, i.e. the limitations of mobile power sources. To overcome this challenge specialised routing protocols, such as LEACH, were ushered in so as to make effective use of the energy of the nodes themselves. The purpose of this article is to show how the life of a sensor network depends on the number of nodes equipped with mobile limited power source.
