Investigation on Optimization of Lifetime of Energy Constrained Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks – A Review

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which provides the platform for the Internet of Things (IoT), is a cutting-edge methodology that captures and scans environmental conditions that are surrounded by various applications. In WSN, each sensor node is connected together and transmits data. The improvement of the sensor lifetime, while transmitting the data during the communication process is the challenging one. Distributed sensor nodes have small-sized battery backups for performing transmission. This leads to a shrinking of sensor nodes lifetime and it also decreases the sensors performance. We present an efficient and broad assessment of Software Defined Network as an efficient energy technique in this paper. In addition to that, the various WSN clustering methods are exposed and analyzed in terms of novel efficient energy optimization dimensions. An extensive investigation of the consumption of energy by wireless nodes in the WSN is being carried out in order to improve the lifetime of network's through the use of advanced efficient protocols. Thus, it becomes a suitable option to setup in remote areas where energy constrained devices play a vital role. Finally, we conclude with further research direction in WSNs.
