Energy efficient algorithm for wireless sensor networks based on cluster head selection

This paper presents on key issue in WSN is to develop an energy-efficient clustering Protocol with lower energy consumption for transferring information from channel heads to BS (Base Station). A multi-level hierarchical structure performs in effectively route and collect data in WSN. Hierarchical clustering algorithms are having the increased network lifetime. The primary point in these algorithms is the cluster head selection using midpoint algorithm to improve initial centroid selection procedure. The proposed protocol works on selecting the best Cluster Head (CH) by considering some parameters such as residual energy, distance between cluster heads, nodes and base station to work on long lifetime of network. Overall simulation performance is compared with standard algorithms and achieved efficient energy consumption.
