LEACH is a popular hierarchical routing protocol which efficiently maintains the energy storage of nodes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN).The nodes using LEACH are divided into clusters.The advantage of LEACH is that each node has the equal probability to be a cluster head,which makes the energy dissipation of each node be relatively balanced. This paper studies LEACH protocol, and focuses on how to decide the next hop nodes more reasonable when the data are transmitted at the steady state. Simulation has been done in NS2 and the results show that the algorithm after improved is more energy-efficient than LEACH protocol.

We evaluate both LEACH and V-LEACH through extensive simulations using OMNET++ simulator which shows that VLEACH performs better than LEACH protocol.
