In 2004, MATLAB had around one million users across industry and academia. MATLAB users come from various backgrounds of engineering, science, and economics. MATLAB is widely used in academic and research institutions as well as industrial enterprises. In addition to the usage of MATLAB being integrated into the teaching of Engineering and Linear Algebra courses, as part of their Continuing Studies programs, many Community Colleges and Universities are creating stand-alone MATLAB courses focused on just teaching the MATLAB user interface and script writing. These courses are especially tailored for returning students going back for a higher-level degree and for students who graduated many years ago before MATLAB was integrated into the educational …show more content…

MATLAB is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, technical computing problems can be solved faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++ and FORTRAN. It is used in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, nancial modeling and analysis. Add-on toolboxes (collections of special purpose MATLAB functions, available separately) extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems in these application areas. MATLAB provides a number of features for documentary work. MATLAB code can be integrated with other languages and applications, and gives out various new algorithms and applications. Its features …show more content…

We consider a wireless sensor network with N = 100 nodes distributed randomly in 100m X 100m field. A gateway node is deployed in the centre of the sensing field. The BS is located far away from the sensing field. Both gateway node and BS are stationary after deployment. We consider packet size of 4000 bits. We compare our protocol with LEACH protocol. To assess performance of our protocol with LEACH, we ignore the effects caused by signal collision and interference in the wireless channel. Table 1 shows the radio parameters used in our
