This document summarizes a research paper that proposes an improved energy efficient LEACH (IEE-LEACH) routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The paper discusses how the LEACH protocol randomly selects cluster heads, which can lead to uneven energy distributions. The proposed IEE-LEACH protocol selects cluster heads based on remaining node energy and a cost function to balance energy usage and improve network lifetime. Simulation results show the IEE-LEACH protocol achieves higher packet delivery ratios, lower end-to-end delays, and prolongs network lifetime compared to the standard LEACH protocol.
