A Survey on Network Lifetime Maximization in Wireless Sensor Networks
Keywords:
wireless sensor networks, energy efficiency, interference, network lifetimeAbstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being deployed in various environmental surroundings to monitor the events according to the need of the application. In WSN, network interference and energy consumption are the major factors to be considered to maximize the lifetime of the network. The prime aim of the survey is to analyze the techniques in order to mitigate the problems by reducing the interference, and high energy consumption by classify the taxonomy of techniques depending on the i) Self-Organizing and fault tolerance, (ii) QoS requirements, (iii) coverage & connectivity, (iv) mobility and deployment, and (v) Routing in WSN for maximization of network lifetime. Further, a brief outlook of recent techniques used in improving the lifetime of WSN is carried out.
