Abstract
The paper gives the analysis of extending the implementation of Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchical protocol from the 2D plane to the 3D space in wireless sensor network, having various sensor nodes spread in a particular geographical area or region for collecting the application specific data. The comparison has been shown between the implementation of homogeneous LEACH in 2D plane and 3D space, emphasizing on a node observed from three dimensions, which is more suitable for practical scenarios.
Keywords: 2D plane, 3D space, Cube, Dead node, Hexagon, Network lifetime.
