This paper proposes a new approach for load balancing by using receiver-\ninitiated load transfer method. Usually data transfer for load balancing\nstarts from a sender node. This is what called a sender-initiated method. In\nthis paper, instead, a load balancing action starts from a receiver node; the\nreceiver node initiates load balancing for asking a sender node for load transfer.\nFuzzy logic control is applied in this approach to avoid using a fixed\nthreshold value in load balancing in ad-hoc networks. Performance for the\nreceiver-initiated approach is evaluated and compared with other load balancing\napproaches-BID protocol, fuzzy logic sender-initiated algorithm and\nnon-fuzzy (threshold based) receiver-initiated algorithm. The results show\nthat the receiver-initiated approach improves network performance by comparing\nwith the other three.
