A Study and Performance Analysis of LEACH and LACBRP Routing Scheme in Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks have formed new opportunities across the variety of human efforts including engineering design, forest fire tracking, and battlefield surveillance. It is a group of sensor nodes that comprised of sensing, computing, and communication elements that gives an administrator the ability to observe and react to events and phenomena in a specified environment. Minimizing Energy consumption is considered as one of the most important principles in the development of routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). This research paper describes the characteristics of hierarchical routing scheme for sensor network Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchy (LEACH) and Location Aware Cluster Based Routing Protocol (LACBRP) based on the performance matrices like Energy Values, Latency Values, Packet Delivery Ratio and Residual Energy Values. This comparative study proves that LACBRP performs well than LEACH routing scheme.
