  Project Title: A Proportional Load Balancing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

This project aims to present a new load balancing method for wireless sensor networks. In most routing schemes a sender forwards its packets destined for the same sink through the same neighbor. Thus, the nodes located in the intersection of multiple paths carry a large amount of workload and exhaust their energy rapidly. To overcome this problem, we propose a proportional load balancing method (PLB).  In PLB, a sender chooses multiple paths for a destination (sink) and forwards its packets over these paths. By spreading the load over multiple paths, PLB prolong overall network life time, increases network efficiency and prevent fluctuation problem in load balancing.

Project Title:  A Dynamic, Robust and Load Balanced Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

This project aims to present a robust and dynamically load balanced clustering protocol for wireless sensor networks. Clustering is an effective method for data gathering in sensor networks, which can decrease energy consumption and introduce longer lifetime. Firstly we introduce a simple and effective dynamic cluster head election protocol based on energy and neighbor number. Since, re-clustering is heavy and costly process, providing survivability of clusters in case of cluster head (CH) fails is an important issue. To overcome this problem we introduce a dynamic back up CH selection method which doesn’t need a global topology knowledge or extra nodes in network.. Lastly we introduce a dynamic load balancing method to prevent overloading of some CHs in network.
