Congestion Control in WSN using Cluster and Adaptive Load Balanced Routing Protocol
Monu Rani | Kiran Gupta [3] | Arvind Sharma [4]
Abstract: In a WSN power consumption and congestion are major bottlenecks. These two are inter-related too Power consumption causes several nodes to become dormant and thus increase congestion in the network. Also, congestion leads to abuse of network resources leading increased power consumption. By using adaptive load balancing technique, we reduce the problem of congestion in a network. We improved the traffic splitting protocol (TSP). The proposed method distributes the load in the network to all the nodes in the parallel direction such that no node has a congestion value above threshold. Simulation results have shown the algorithm to be efficient.
