An Efficient Hybrid Routing Scheme with LEACH Protocol for the Enhancement of Lifetime of the Network in WSN

LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is a distributed routing protocol that is used in wireless sensor networks to help reduce energy consumption. The protocol utilizes a hybrid routing scheme in which each node is assigned a random number between one and the maximum number of nodes in the network. The nodes then form clusters based on their numbers, and each node acts as a cluster head. The cluster heads then communicate messages to the other nodes in the cluster. This allows data to be sent and received with a minimum amount of energy. By utilizing this hybrid routing scheme, LEACH is able to improve energy efficiency by reducing the number of transmissions made in the network and also by decreasing the number of hops required to send a message.
