Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the deployed randomly and on the far places to sense information. The security, quality of service and energy consumption is the major issues of WSN. To minimize the consumption of higher amount of energy in these networks, clustering is applied. The Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is used for the cluster head selection in the network. The cluster head is selected based on the energy consumption and distance to base station. A node is selected as Cluster Head (CH) if it has the highest amount of energy and the least distance from base station. In this research work, genetic algorithm is applied with the LEACH protocol for the cluster head selection. The proposed work is implemented in Matlab. The results of existing LEACH protocol is compared with proposed LEACH protocol in terms of certain parameters. The comparative analysis and achieved outcomes show that the proposed approach performs well in terms of energy consumption as it consumes lesser amount of energy.
