Optimization of resource utilization especially energy with higher Quality of Service (QoS) parameter such as packet delivery ratio etc, is an open and active research issue in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Existing methods such as direct transmission, multi-hop routing, minimum transmission energy and static clustering methods were not optimal for certain applications. LEACH protocol is built on the assumption of direct communication between cluster head and Sink nodes. Where as in many real time applications cluster head to cluster head communication is required. The Proposed work in this paper is an improvement in LEACH protocol by means of dynamic cluster head selection and routing from Cluster head to sink node through other cluster heads and their by increases the network life time. The proposed work gives better performance of network life time, low energy consumption compared to LEACH.
