Abstract:Abstract:To provide a reliable and efficient service, load balancing plays an important role in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). There is a need to maximize the network lifetime for WSNs applications with periodic generation of data. Due to the relationship between energy consumption and network sensor node lifetime, energy consumption in a network should be minimized and balanced in order to increase network lifetime. Energy-efficient load-balancing techniques are needed to solve this problem. In this paper, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
