Work in progress: leach-based energy efficient routing algorithm for large-scale wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the active research topics which links telecommunication and microelectro- mechanical system (MEMS). WSN has a broad range of important applications such as environmental monitoring, health monitoring, and various industrial and military applications. The various routing protocols in WSN manage the load balance, energy consumption and the expansion of the network. This study outlines the procedure of developing scalable, low energy and highly adaptive clustering hierarchy routing protocol. The main objective is to maintain the network lifespan over the network expansion. We refer to the proposed protocol as Energy-Efficient Scalable Routing Algorithm (EESRA). The EESRA protocol is expected to optimize the wellknown LEACH protocol for more energy efficiency on a large scale WSN
