Energy problem has always been bottleneck of development of wireless sensor networks( WSNs).Clustering algorithm can work well to reduce energy consumption of network communication. Analyze various existing clustering algorithms
and on the basis of LEACH
improves method of choosing cluster heads. Discuss numbers choosing of cluster heads
and then take sensor density inside network as reference to choose cluster head
by giving different parameters to compare effect of node density on protocol operation. Simulation results indicates that the improved algorithm effectively lowers communication energy consumption
