Cluster and traffic distribution protocol for energy consumption in wireless sensor network

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), an unbalanced load allocation results in congestion. Load balancing is of great importance in wireless sensor networks because of the limited resource constraint. By keeping dynamic metrics such as network load, load balancing can be achieved and congestion can be avoided. The multipath routing decision in network layer has an important impact on the performance of WSN. The approach we take is to combine the ideas of clustering first and then traffic is evenly distributed in network. In clustering, each node takes part in cluster head formation. For load balancing in the network we improved the traffic splitting protocol (TSP). For the simulation purpose, dot net framework is used. This approach helps in enhancing the total energy consumption.
