An Adaptive Load Balancing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks with Uneven Energy Consumption

Amaresh Varma

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in various applications, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance, and healthcare. However, one of the major challenges in WSNs is the uneven energy consumption of sensor nodes due to variations in the sensing environment. This leads to a significant reduction in the network's lifetime and stability. Load balancing is a technique that can be used to address this issue by distributing the energy consumption evenly among the nodes
