Time Slots Investment of a dead node in LEACH protocol on Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network (MSN) is a wirelessly interconnected network. WSN promises a wide range of potential such as surveillance, military and civilian, to name just a few, applications. A sensor node senses the environment and delivers data to the sink. Energy saving is one of the keys to challenge network life time. LEACH protocol has been incorporated to extend network life time. This protocol forms clusters of the sensor nodes and elect one of them to become a Cluster Head (CH) to route data cluster to sink. In cluster, communication uses TDMA technique. This latter organizes transmission time (Time Slot) which corresponds to each node member of cluster. When a node dies, time slot corresponding to this node will be free. In this paper, we will present LEACH comportments after a node dies, then we will propose some ideas to invest its time slots by alive node members to maximize data reception time parameter so throughput end-to-end. This parameter is very important for real-time data. Finally, we will simulate this idea with Network Simulator (NS2) to argue for our propositions.
