LBR: Load Balancing Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract: Abstract. Homogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are organized using identical sensor nodes, but the nature of WSNs operations results in an imbalanced workload on gateway sensor nodes which may lead to a hot-spot or routing hole problem. The routing hole problem can be considered as a natural result of the tree-based routing schemes that are widely used in WSNs, where all nodes construct a multi-hop routing tree to a centralized root, e.g., a gateway or base station. For example, sensor nodes on the rout… Show more

“…RLBR appropriately adapts such situations and does its best to be aware of energy levels of the relay sensor nodes. This dynamic adaptation strategy can alleviate the energy-hole problem as stated in [7] and [8]. It also aims for load balancing between relay sensor nodes in terms of balanced energy usage, and minimising energy dissipation for packet transmissions by means of adaptive beaconing and in-network aggregation of data packets.…”

“…It has been shown in [6], [7] and [8] that the network lifetime is extended if the rate of energy across the network is uniformly dissipated. For example, if a selected route is the preferred path and all routed data packets consistently relayed through relay sensor nodes along this selected route, these relay sensor nodes will deplete their batteries faster and eventually die off earlier than their peer nodes on other routes.…”

“…RLBR scheme allows a child sensor node dynamically searches for a new reliable parent node with more residual energy. This dynamic adaptation strategy can alleviate the energy-hole problem as stated in [10] [23]. The experimental work done in this paper aims to investigate the indoor performance of RLBR scheme in terms of reliability, packet delivery, and energy efficiency.…”
