Abstract

The infrastructure-less multi-hop network which can be self-configured is Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Physical as well as environmental conditions are controlled. WSNs consist of a large number of nodes, and these WSN nodes have sensing, processing, and networking capacities, and are usually multifunctional, low cost, and low power. The sensor nodes feel the data where it is used, compute the same data and then connect it with other nodes. A lot of energy is absorbed during this process. The power supply is provided by the batteries connected to the nodes and cannot be recharged or replaced in most situations, so energy usage is reduced.          Therefore, in order to optimize network lifetime energy, successful routing protocols should be created. This paper focuses on different energy-efficient routing protocols used in WSN and aims to create a new innovative protocol that will outperform all previous protocols. This paper analyses the LEACH protocol and introduces an improved upgrading protocol.
