Leach Based Hierarchical Routing Protocol for Monitoring of Over-ground Pipelines Using Linear Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper a three layered architecture has been proposed for monitoring, and protection of over-ground oil, gas, and water pipelines using wireless sensor networks. The three layers include on the ground, on the pipeline and underground layer. This paper also proposes a architecture a Leach Based Hierarchical Routing Protocol for linear structure wireless sensor networks (LBHRP) for the above mentioned architecture.
