Wireless sensor network is a field of networking that has been used for sensing information from environment.  In WSN the sensor nodes are attached to a battery for sensing information. Each node utilizes three types of energy during its lifetime over the network. These energies are sensing energy, transmission or receiving energy and idle energy. During the sensing information the nodes consumes energy and transmission energy is used to transmit a data over a distance. Idle energy is that when node is not working but remains in on state. Due to deployment of WSN in unreachable area energy is main constraint for network to be cost effective.The major issue is network lifetime that must be increase so that network performs for long duration of time and provide cost effective for an n organization. To overcome this issue various methods had been proposed, chaining, pegasis, clustering and chain head selection are one of these methods.

Cluster Head Selection

Background & Objective: Wireless sensor networks are made up of huge amount of less powered small sensor nodes that can audit the surroundings, collect meaningful data, and send it base station. Various energy management plans that pursue to lengthen the endurance of overall network has been proposed over the years, but energy conservation remains the major challenge as the sensor nodes have finite battery and low computational capabilities. Cluster based routing is the most fitting system to help for burden adjusting, adaptation to internal failure, and solid correspondence to draw out execution parameters of wireless sensor network. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy is an efficient clustering based hierarchical protocol that is used to enhance the lifetime of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. It has some basic flaws that need to be overwhelmed in order to reduce the energy utilization and inflating the nodes lifetime. Methods : In this paper, an effective auxiliary cluster head selection is used to propose a new enhanced GC-LEACH algorithm in order to minimize the energy utilization and prolonged the lifespan of wireless sensor network. Results & Conclusion: Simulation is performed in NS-2 and the outcomes show that the GC-LEACH outperforms conventional LEACH and its existing versions in the context of frequent cluster head rotation in various rounds, number of data packets collected at base station, as well as reduces the energy consumption 14% - 19% and prolongs the system lifetime 8% - 15%.
