Various techniques have been developed in attempt to minimize congestion in uniformly distributed networks. In this paper, a new algorithm, load balanced congestion adaptive routing (LBCAR) algorithm has been proposed for randomly distributed networks in which two metrics: traffic load density and life time associated with a routing path, have been used to determine the congestion status and weakest node of the route and the route with low traffic load density and maximum life time is selected for packet transmission. The proposed algorithm has been simulated on Qualnet 4.5 simulator.
