Abstract

Based on LEACH algorithm, we propose an improved HMR-LEACH algorithm (Hierarchical Multi-path Routing-LEACH), which improves election of cluster head and adopts multi-hop algorithm instead of one hop to transmission data. When chooses transmission path, HMR-LEACH algorithm takes energy and distance into account and assigns a probability to each transmitting path by weight. Simulation result indicates that HMR-LEACH outperforms the LEACH algorithm and prolongs the life of the network dramatically.
