  • Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a dominant technology among different wireless communication technologies. It’s very important to maximize the lifetime of networks for better and long-term performance. However, the lifetime of a network depends greatly on the lifetime of the battery of related nodes. Generally, Sensor networks are limited in energy and, thus, require the use of routing protocols to minimize energy consumption. After a comparative study of the performance of two hierarchical routing protocols namely LEACH and PEGASIS, which indicates that PEGASIS has a longer lifetime than LEACH because of its low energy consumption techniques but has more delay, this paper presents a lifetime enhancement schema and a modified version of LEACH protocol to overcome the short lifetime problem of LEACH protocol comparative to PEGASIS protocol. The modified LEACH protocol increases the lifetime of the network by 300% more than that of the traditional LEACH protocol.
