Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) proposed a new digital computing paradigm enabling interaction between devices and machines. It deliberately creates connectivity between the internet, electronics, and other forms of hardware. A novel modern cluster supervisor-based cluster head selection algorithm (MCSBCH) is proposed for the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The proposed cluster supervisor mechanism is responsible for controlling and monitoring the network effectively. In this approach, the cluster supervisor is the heart of the network, and the whole mechanism work under its supervision. The Cluster supervisor (CS) monitors the node’s energy level and allocates CH (cluster head) node. Each node’s energy level is considered for electing the CH. Obviously when the cluster head energy level gets drained, then it allocates the next higher energy node as cluster head. The assigned CH is the next node with the highest energy level known as the backup node. This cluster supervisor (CS) is supported by the cluster head (CH) and other backup nodes in the network. The proposed MCSBCH is boosted with an enhanced clustering routing protocol. An experimental result is based on the aspect of a lifetime, energy consumption, and throughput, to test the proposed mechanism performance.
