Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been identified as one of the most important technologies for the 21st century. A wireless sensor network with a large number of sensor nodes can be used as an effective tool for gathering data in various situations. This paper focuses on study of WSN using a communication protocol called LEACH protocol. LEACH is very effective in enhancing lifetime of the nodes
Keywords: Energy Efficiency, Wireless Sensor Network, LEACH, Clustering.
