In wireless sensor networks (WSN) energy consumption is the most critical problem because each sensor node has limited batteries. In order to reduce energy consumption and to optimize the network life-time of this kind of networks clustering algorithms have been widely used. LEACH is the most popular clustering algorithm, which used an interesting technique to select a cluster head alternately and to build cluster. In this work, we propose a new scheme to select cluster head according to the residual energy of nodes. The simulation results show that proposed algorithm achieve longer stability period and network life-time by comparison to other clustering approaches i.e. LEACH, ALEACH, LEAHC-DCHS and LEACH-SWDN.
