A PERSPECTIVE SURVEY ON LOAD BALANCING TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

The definition of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is termed as collection of nodes which has a sensing capability, energy computation and able to communicate with other nodes without any physical connection. So many research works are done on the WSN to enhance its routing capability, managing energy and propagation of data. Most of the work depends on overcoming the issues in energy consumption based routing protocols. The nature of route selection varies on the nature of the application and the design of the network. This study presents a survey on various existing works done on load balancing based reliable route selection in the wireless sensor networks. The discussion is mainly focused on five different important issues namely energy consumption, link stability, collision detection, bandwidth usage and fault tolerance which should be handled for efficient routing protocol development based on load balancing.
