Scalability and Robustness Testing of IOT Networks Using LEACH Protocol Simulation

Abstract

The Navy's new Distributed Lethality strategy will require an extensive sensor network to support increased information requirements. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) for Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) support offer a means to gather this information, and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions offer an economical option for the required WSN components. Through computer simulation using the LEACH protocol and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (RPi) parameters as the sensor nodes, this research explored the technical feasibility of using COTS technologies to implement a low-cost WSN. Simulations were designed to measure the number of rounds for RPi node death to compare performance against the current WSN structure using micro-sensor (MS) nodes.
