Energy is the most important parameter of sensor nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network. Energy Efficiency is one of the challenging issues. One of the solutions is data aggregation which will in turn reduce the traffic on the network. Data aggregation can be done through Clustering Scheme and this scheme will extend the lifetime of a sensor node through reducing energy consumption. Clustering will increases the network scalability also. The main idea behind clustering technique is it groups the sensor nodes and compresses the collected data together and transmits the data. In this process cluster head selection is the crucial part. So many algorithms were proposed for Cluster head selection. This paper will survey such algorithms.
