Reducing the energy consumption of available resources is still a problem to be solved in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Many types of existing routing protocols are developed to save power consumption. In these protocols, cluster-based routing protocols are found to be more energy efficient. A cluster head is selected to aggregate the data received from root nodes and forwards these data to the base station in cluster-based routing. The selection of cluster heads should be efficient to save energy. In this book, a detailed discussion of a new routing protocol (AZR-LEACH) is given after a brief discussion of general routing protocols used for WSNs. In AZR-LEACH protocol, static clustering is used for the efficient selection of cluster heads. The AZR-LEACH routing protocol works efficiently in large as well as small areas. A large sensor field is divided into rectangular clusters for an optimal number of cluster head selection. Then these rectangular clusters are further grouped into...
