ABSTRACT: The main parameter to be
considered in the wireless sensor network is the amount of energy that is
available in each sensor node. The lifetime of the sensor node (SN) depends on
it. As the SNs are deployed in remote locations, if the entire energy is
consumed, it would be very difficult to replace or recharge the energy source
immediately. Hence the energy consumed by each node is very important. If
individual SNs send information directly to the base station (BS), then the availability
of energy in such SN decreases very fast. This will lead to reduction in the
life time of the SN. Instead, the SNs can send the data to the cluster head
(CH), then the CH consolidates the received data. The CH sends it to the BS
periodically. In this way, utilizing CH for sending the information to the BS
increases the lifetime of the SN. The cluster head selection is very crucial in
such networks. This paper proposes a novel fuzzy based BEENSIH protocol for CH
selection.
