A very rapid advancing wireless sensor networks (WSN) and latest hierarchical protocol used in this environment leads to give the network stability, throughput and less energy consumption which leads to make the network more reliable and energy stable, have led to many new protocols specifically designed for sensor networks where energy conservation is prime aim, mostly attention given to routing protocols they might differ depending on the application and network architecture. In this most advanced environment there are so many energy conservation protocols being used for the sake of reliability and many more factors. So from the very beginning of the WSN some conventional protocols are getting used by making the advancement in them by adding some of new functions or updating the conventional protocols. So, by considering the base protocol i.e. LEACH which is usually works in the homogeneous network only, where all sensor motes have same energy levels. In this paper there is an area which is divided into the regions and these regions are further divided and used to count the cluster heads in each region and on the basis of that parameters are calculated like dead nodes, alive nodes, cluster heads, residual energy, network lifetime which all are calculated up to some finite rounds. The best possible value is taken in this case to give the optimum output of each parameter in same aspect.

Keywords: Leach, heterogeneous, homogeneous, quadrature, residual energy, cluster head
