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.
