An adaptive learning scheme for load balancing with zone partition in multi-sink wireless sensor network

► We propose an adaptive learning scheme for load balancing scheme in multi-sink WSN. ► The mobile anchor adaptively partitions the network into several zones. ► The agent learns to balance the load in the way of reallocate the collection zones. ►The agent applies the residual energy of hotspots around sink nodes. ►The proposed QAZP scheme prolongs the lifetime of the wireless sensor network.
