An Efficient and Effective Load Balancing Mechanism in WSN

Abstract

A wireless sensor network be a network sort as regards sense computing and communication elements that helps to watch, events during a specified environment. Sensor nodes during a wireless sensor network depend upon battery power they need a limited transmission range that’s why energy efficiency plays an important role to attenuate the overhead over which the network period is as regards ten achieved. The period as regards the network depends on the amount as regards nodes, strength, range as regards area, and connectivity as regards nodes within the network. During this paper, we are over viewing techniques that are utilized in a wireless sensor network for load balancing. A wireless sensor network having different nodes with different sorts as regards energy which may improve the period as regards the network and its dependability. One among the foremost critical problems are challenges in Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to scale back energy utilization to prolong the network period of WSNs. The hierarchical clustering technique is one among the techniques which are wont to provide energy efficiency. However, most clustering schemes select the cluster head either randomly without considered important parameters or supposed a centralized approach by utilizing the bottom terminal which may affect the network scalability. Additionally, single-hop communication is employed by CHs to forward their sensed data to the CH which cause increases energy utilization as regards CHs during a large-scale network.
