In this paper, the design & development of a novel cooperative balancing routing (CBR) protocol to enhance the lifetime of WSNs using load balancing concepts by decreasing the energy consumption during the data exchanges is presented in the respective section. The main objective of the research work presented in this paper is to present an improvised version of the CBR that computes the routing path by using cooperative mechanisms using the concept of load balancing. This paper also demonstrates the various results obtained for all the test cases along with the necessary observations and explanations in the form of discussions and diagrammatic representations. The paper finally concludes with the overall conclusions of the CBR work.
