On the problem of unbalanced load distribution in wireless sensor networks

Abstract: Abstract-In multi-hop wireless sensor networks that are characterized by many-to-one traffic patterns, problems related to energy imbalance among sensors often appear. When each node has a fixed transmission range, the amount of traffic that sensor nodes are required to forward increases dramatically as the distance to the data sink becomes smaller. Thus, sensors closest to the data sink tend to die early, leaving areas of the network completely unmonitored and causing network partitions. Alternatively, if all… Show more

“…This situation may lead to uneven traffic conditions [11], and also the energy is not equally distributed. In the region of lesser density, nodes are required high-energy radios to transmit data packets to far situated neighboring node.…”

“…In this section, we review the transmission range distribution optimization problem, originally addressed in [4]. This problem is solved by determining how a node should distribute its outgoing data packets over multiple distances, always using the minimum transmission power necessary to send over each distance.…”
