ALBAR-H: Load Balancing Around Holes in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In wireless sensor networks the formation of hole is inevitable because of the structure of the sensor networks. When a hole is formed reliability is decreased. With the formation of holes in sensor networks Quality of service decreases eventually. Network Coverage is an important factor to detect a specified area. In order to maintain the coverage quality of the sensor networks, we propose a light weight protocol, ALBAR-H which is a variant of ALBA-R mechanism to detect localization errors in the sensor networks. In this algorithm , healing is performed with the nodes which are located at a right distance from the hole. Performance results through ns2 show that ALBAR-H shows a better performance by finding the localization errors.
