Abstract

Hotspots of energy consumption and network congestions can be caused by load imbalance among sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks. This may lead to loss of data packets and premature death of sensor nodes which may cause the premature death of entire network. Load-balancing techniques can prolong the lifetime of sensor networks and avoid the occurrence of packet congestions. This paper proposes an approach that using load-balancing network to balancing the load in a static data gathering wireless sensor network. Experiments show the effectiveness of our approach
