Abstract: The development of an energy-efficient routing protocol for wireless sensor networks has been a challenging task for academics. It is very different from the conventional routing protocols, which are based on I.P. addresses. These conventional routing protocols are not preferable for WSNs since conventional routing protocols depend heavily on the routing tables, which often require updates. Also, the WSN varies from thousands to ten thousand, making the task of managing routing tables not easy and economical in terms of hardware resources. There is always research going on to develop an efficient routing protocol in terms of energy for WSNs. LEACH protocol is one of them. Energy consumption in WSNs became a vital factor to be focused on in enforcing an efficient routing strategy. Numerous LEACH protocol variations propose improvements to the current Protocol. In our study, we looked at different LEACH protocol iterations and adopted a modified LEACH protocol to extend the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. We adopted various power levels for transmission between the cluster node, cluster head, and base station, as well as a novel method for choosing the cluster head. Our modified Protocol performs better when compared to parameters like network lifetime, dead nodes per round, Cluster heads formed, packets sent to the base station, etc.
