In this project we have studied various hierarchical routing protocols for wireless sensor networks for their pros and cons. Subsequently, we have selected LEACH, PEGASIS and HEED routing protocols, based on their usefulness and have done a comparative study among them. Finally, a comparative study on the selected protocols are done based on several metrics such as: Load Balancing, Energy Consumption, Stability Period, Scalability and Network Lifetime through simulations of these routing protocols in OCTAVE on various simulation parameters and different simulation environments.
Step 1:- Install Octave Step 2:- Pull Code&Results Directory Step 3:- run "run_LPH_protocols.m" in above directory using octave.
