Energy Aware Load Balancing Scheme in a Mobile Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless ad-hoc network is a resource constrained network applied in many applications. Clustering is considered to be most competent technique in order to attain firm performance and improved utilization of energy. Traditional clustering tactics elect a cluster coordinator commonly known as cluster heads so as to manage the whole cluster in terms of data collection, data fusion and transmission of the fused data to the distant base station. Random mobility in the phenomenal area leads to impose excess burden on the coordinator resulting quicker energy diminution which is analogous to minimum network life span. The proposed system exploits the heterogeneous sensor modules order to form the network and aims to balance the load of the cluster coordinator alias cluster head by concentrating on formation of nested cluster with the nodes imposing load so as to bypass the burden of the cluster head. The novelty of the scheme is not only to concentrate on load harmonization of the coordinator but also to establish an effectual arrangement of hustle free cluster formation and to prolong the network life time.
