Abstract

A wireless sensor network encompass of tiny, constrained battery powered sensor nodes. Every node is able to observe the substantial surroundings and send it to the sink either in single hop or multihop fashion. In the network, the nodes which is nearer to the sink will lose their liveliness soon. Clustering is a key method for reducing the power utilization and also the life time of the network is increased at the same time. In this method, entire network is separated as a set of clusters. Each cluster consists of one cluster head (CH) and non cluster member nodes from each cluster will transfer the sensed data to the CH. This will take care of forwarding the information to the end user. Enhanced dynamic cluster head selection method (EDCHSM) are advanced to take care of the issue of unreasonable cluster head selection that leads to the overlapping coverage and unbalanced energy consumption inside the cluster communication. Experimental outputs clearly shows the proposed method balance the sensor node energy in two phases as compared with the existing algorithms like stable election protocol (SEP), distributed energy efficient clustering (DEEC), dynamic cluster head selection method (DCHSM).
