Load-Balanced Low-Power Routing Algorithm Design for Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

Low-power wireless sensor networks (WSNs) design involves all aspects of research in wireless sensor networks. As energy is limited in wireless sensor networks, how to effectively manage and use energy of WSNs, and how to maximize the reduction of power consumption in WSNs and extend the lifetime of WSNs become a key problem faced by wireless sensor networks. Aimed at these problems, a low-power clustering routing algorithm based on load-balanced is proposed. The algorithm introduced an energy load factor to reduce the power consumption of WSNs. The simulation results show that the low-power routing algorithm can effectively reduce power consumption of networks and extend the lifetime of networks.
