The wireless sensor network is formed by the number of detection stations which are regarded as nodes. Every node is generally of small, lightweight and portable. The main components of the sensor nodes are the transducer, microcomputer and power source. Generally, these networks are implemented in hazardous locations where it is very difficult to recharge and replace the power source. Again human monitoring scheme is also very risky there. Here energy consumption is the main issue because cluster-based protocols follow non-uniform node distribution. In this paper, we proposed to avoid such type of problem an energy-aware clustering algorithm (EADC) is proposed. Keywords: cluster head, energy-aware clustering algorithm, energy efficient, wireless sensor networks, Cluster node. I. INTRODUCTION In wireless sensor networks, A number of self-organized sensor nodes compose the wireless sensor network (WSN). The main functionality of this kind of network is to perceive and gather data from the environment and to send them to users. The Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, for instance, employs a hierarchical approach for clustering the network. There is an adopted cluster head for managing each cluster. The cluster head is in charge of several tasks; first, it is comprised of collecting data supplied from the members of a cluster on a periodical basis. It aggregates the data after gathering them. The next main task assigned to a cluster head is to directly transmit the aggregated data to the base station. The main objective of TDMA based schedule is to provide a particular time to each cluster member for data transmission. Cluster members learn the schedule and accordingly transmit data. DRAWBACKS of LEACH Algorithm: ● In the LEACH algorithm, each sensor node randomly selects a cluster head and the energy consumption is high. ● Un-uniform distribution of cluster heads irrespective of residual make the network less energy efficient Figure 1: Cluster-Based WSN. II. EVOLUTION In 2001, I.F. Akyildiz, W. Su, Y. Sankarasubramaniam, E. Cayirci studied about wireless sensor networks in which they describe the concept of sensor networks which has been made viable by the convergence of micro electro- mechanical systems technology, wireless communications and digital electronics. First, the sensing tasks and the potential sensor network applications are explored, and a review of factors influencing the design of sensor networks is provided. In 2002, Jason Lester Hill design System Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks they present an operating system and three generations of a hardware platform designed to address the needs of wireless sensor networks. Their operating system, called Tiny OS uses an event based execution model to provide support for fine grained concurrency and incorporates a highly efficient component model. Tiny OS enables us to use a hardware architecture that has a single processor time shared between both application and protocol processing. They show how a virtual partitioning of computational resources not only leads to efficient resource utilization but allows for a rich interface between application and protocol processing. This rich interface, in turn, allows developers to exploit application specific communication protocols that significantly improve system performance.
