An Efficient Cluster Head Selection Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks - Edrleach

The Cluster-head Gateway Switch Routing protocol (CGSR) uses a hierarchical network topology. CGSR organizes nodes into clusters, with coordination among the members of each cluster entrusted to a special node named cluster-head. The cluster head selection is done with the help of any of the algorithm for cluster head selection. Energy is the primary constraint on designing any Wireless Networks practically. This leads to limited network lifetime of network. Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and LEACH with deterministic cluster head selection are some of the cluster head algorithms that enable to optimize power consumption of WSN.
