Sensor network consists of a large number of small nods, strongly interacting with the physical environment, takes environmental data through sensors, and reacts after processing on information. Wireless network technologies are widely used in most applications. As wireless sensor networks have many activities in the field of information transmission, network congestion cannot be thus avoided. So it seems necessary that some new methods can control congestion and use existing resources for providing better traffic demands. Congestion increases packet loss and retransmission of removed packets and also wastes of energy. In this paper, a novel method is presented for congestion control in wireless sensor networks using genetic algorithm. The results of simulation show that the proposed method, in comparison with the algorithm LEACH, can significantly improve congestion control at high speeds.
