ABSTRACT
A wireless sensor network (WSN) in its simplest form can be defined as a network of sensors, denoted as nodes, that blankets a region and provides information about it. It can sense the environment and communicate the data gathered from the monitored field via wireless links [1]. WSNs have numerous applications ranging from indoor deployment scenarios in the home and office, to outdoor deployment scenarios in natural environment, polyhouses and military settings. In all modern polyhouses, several measurement nodes are required to track down the local climate parameters in different parts of the polyhouse to make the monitoring system work properly. In this paper, we are showing the use of WSN in a polyhouse system. We aim at proving that that the implementation of LEACH protocol to our wireless sensor network would, in fact, reduce the average energy dissipation per node per transmission. Thus leading to a drastic increase in the lifetime of the sensor nodes.
