Abstract: In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) environment, since the battery limitation of
the node energy, energy efficiency is an key factor should be considered as the communication
methods are designing. As classical and hierarchical routing protocols, Leach Protocol plays an
important role. In response to the uneven energy distribution that is caused by the randomness
of cluster heads forming, this paper presents a increased method of Leach protocol which is
intended to trade off the energy consumption of the entire network and extend the life of the
network. The new algorithm is verified by simulation platform, the simulation results show that
the energy consumption and the lifetime of the network are both well improved than that of
original Protocol.
