The WSNs technologies are broadly adopted by distinguished fields like as military, industry and consumer applications and so on. The WSN is made up of hundreds or more than of hundred nodes and every sensor node is linked to minimum one sensor node. The existence of WSN depends upon the existence of each node. The nodes perform the task of sending input to the base station from the nature. In this paper we have the proposed RMCHS (Ridge Method Cluster Head Selection) protocol. In the proposed work, Cluster head selection is on the basis of probability, maximum energy and distance factors. KEYWORDS: Wireless Sensor Network, Wireless sensor and actuator network, Ridge Method Cluster Head Selection I. INTRODUCTION All WSN is a group of nodes connected over one or more sensors. The cost of sensor node depends upon the complexity of each sensor node. WSN is used in various types of areas such as military, traffic observation, industry and consumer applications and so on [1], [2], [3]. There are some of the advantages of WSN are: it avoids a lot of wiring, spreading in large area, high fault tolerance and cost of installation is low [4]. To efficient potency and enhances the lifespan of network is one of the problems in WSN. Today, most of the energy saving approaches are planned to minimize power utilization as well as to enhance the network existence. Hierarchical technique is one of them which propose a view of cluster making and to assign the particular function to the sensor node inside the cluster which is known as CH. Clustering is considered as the collection of homogeneous objects between them and are heterogeneous to the objects belonging to other clusters. The sensor nodes deliver the input over the CH as well as CH delivers the input over base station (BS). The purpose of graded path is to minimize the power usage belonging to sensor nodes via associating them over multi hop transmission inside a specific collection of nodes. LEACH is the initial introduced hierarchical routing protocol. Data aggregation The most important objective of data aggregation is to gather and aggregate data within systematic manner so that to expand the network lifespan. The aim of data aggregation is to discard the unnecessary data transmission. Cluster based hierarchical routing protocol: LEACH LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is the basic protocol which was introduced via the Wandi Rabiner H. et.al [5] over reduces the power utilization within WSN. In LEACH cluster members deliver the input to the CH as well as the CH is liable to forwarding the collected input over the BS. LEACH Protocol is defined to perform the data fusion to “pinch” the total facts are delivered by the cluster head over BS. Moreover, LEACH is purposed over reduce the power usage as well as expand the system’s lifespan.
