Rajendra S. Navale, Vaishali S. Deshmukh . An Efficient Load Balancing Algorithm for Energy Utilization in Wireless Sensor Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 82, 8 ( November 2013), 26-30. DOI=10.5120/14137-2269
In recent days Wireless Sensor Network has grown up very vastly. Energy efficiency is the most important consideration in WSN. Many algorithms were developed for the purpose of energy efficiency. In WSN there are number of sink nodes present and this sink nodes may have different loads and because of this they require different energy for transmission of data to a particular base stations. But while implementation of network this sink node has generally same capacity and same energy power associated with it. If some sink nodes are having fewer loads, then they utilize less energy associated with it and vice versa. Here load is nothing but the number of base stations handled by that particular sink node. Due to underutilization and overutilization of energy by all the sink nodes, it is necessary to have some technique or algorithms that balance the load among all the sink nodes in WSN. To balance the load among all the sink nodes there were many algorithms developed. One of which is called as load balancing for energy utilization algorithm which was totally depend on Smart Boundary Yao Gabriel Graph(SBYaoGG) algorithm. And in this paper a new load balancing algorithm is presented which is called as Efficient Load Balancing Algorithm for WSNs. And also results of this new algorithm are discussed in results section.
