Abstract

Selecting a cluster head (CH) in wireless mobile sensor network is a crucial task. Numerous algorithms have been presented for this purpose in recent literature. In these algorithms, all nodes are permitted to contend in CH selection process regardless of their less resource. This meaningless participation of ineligible nodes in the CH selection process causes unnecessary communication cost. Similarly the use of real data for CH selection increases communication cost. Additionally, no one algorithm has focus in security aspect of CH selection process. In this article Pattern Based secure CH Selection algorithm has been presented. This algorithm filters the ineligible nodes, puts them to sleep mode thereby restricting them from not participating in the CH selection process. Additionally the uses of pattern instead of real data in CH selection decrease communication cost and increase security of CH selection process. The simulation results show the improvement in lifetime and enhancement in security of CH selection.
