Survey on Load balancing protocols in MANET'S (mobile ad-hoc networks)

In this paper we describe about mobile ad hoc networks(MANET’S) and the load balancing schemes used in manet’s .a selfconfiguring , a MANET, is a network of mobile devices connected by wireless links. Devices in MANET are free to move in any direction and so they change their links to other devices frequently. The nodes that are more powerful in a mobile ad hoc network finish their assigned tasks as soon as possible and become idle much earlier than those which are less powerful and do their tasks slowly. If we split the efficiency of the nodes on multiple paths then the source – to – destination flow could be speed up. this scenario is called as load balancing and is used for improving the efficiency of the application. The basic utilization of such a scheme is to decrease the difference between overloaded and under loaded nodes, maximize the use of the network resources, minimize end-to-end delay and to minimize congestion. This scheme prevents the network to go in congestion state and avoid the resouces of congested node to be exhausted.
