A Failure Adapted, Load-Balanced Distributed Routing for Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

— this paper proposes a distributed routing protocol for ad hoc sensor networks which uses Fuzzy Logic. Each sensor uses a Fuzzy decision making process to find the best Cluster Head. Simulation shows that this protocol is able to dynamically adapt to sensors’ mobility and failure. By a new load balancing method, it provides also stable clusters and so a cluster head have greater lifetime, which results minimum message exchange and so minimum energy consumption.
