Performance Analysis of LEACH, SEP and ZSEP under the Influence of Energy

For any wireless sensor network to work effectively and efficiently in any kind of environment, preventing it from any kind of attack internally and externally, it is very important to setup the network keeping in mind the various parameters which must be considered. Some of the most important parameters are energy consumption, throughput, network area and initial energy that we give to the network. Another most important thing is the protocol that we use in the network. In this paper, the wireless sensor network is setup using LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), then SEP (Stable Election Protocol) and then ZSEP (Zonal Stable Election Protocol) and then initial energy that we give to the network is varied keeping the network area constant. The effect of change in initial energy is studied on these protocols and their performance is analyzed.
