Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), one of most important and daunting problems is reducing energy usage in order to extend life of WSN networks.The main aim of the project is to develop a clustering technique through which the lifetime of nodes and throughput of network should be increased. Network throughput and lifetime may be increased when the energy of sensor nodes is retained for a long time. To increase lifetime of nodes residual energy of nodes should be considered. Residual energy includes many factors like nodes weight. We have developed an algorithm including nodes residual energy that will definitely increase lifetime and throughput of the network. Using DEEC formula with heterogeneous network based on average and residual energy. Then here we have compared with LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive ClusteringHierarchy), DEEC (Distributed Energy Efficient Clustering) and proposed load balancing clustering algorithm.
