Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) contains several distributed sensor nodes. Limited Power is the constraint of these nodes. The difficult task is battery recharging. Energy dissipation of nodes influences the lifetime of network. By reducing this, life time can be improved.. Improvement of life time of network is by different techniques. One such technique is clustering. The existing methods uses more energy for cluster head selection. This will reduce the network lifetime. Here the author proposes cross layer approach to select cluster head so as to improve network lifetime. In this work overlapping of sensing region of one node with other neighbouring nodes is considered as a parameter for cluster head selection. The node with maximum overlpa with neighbouring nodes will be given chance to become cluster head. Simulation studies are done to obtain performance in terms of the network lifetime. The proposed work is compared with existing LEACH based protocol for networks that contain 500and 750 nodes.
