Analysis on the Improvement of Energy Efficiency by Using Its Models in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Aims and background: A self-configured and infrastructure-less wireless network is named as a wireless sensor network (WSN), which has the role of monitoring physical or environmental conditions like sound, motion, temperature, vibration, and pollutants for passing their data throughout the network to a center of location where the data could be easily observed as well as analyzed. Methodology: In WSN, the small-sized sensor node is working with a very small battery with limited energy. Replacing the battery or recharging the battery is not feasible, and so, the energy-efficient operation of WSN is the key factor. While designing routing protocols (RPs) for WSNs, one among the significant goals is energy conservation owing to this lower power. Totally, three models, namely, state, cluster, and content, were utilized for enhancing energy efficiency (EE). Each protocol has its own way of routing that varies from the other in terms of the parameters selected or the approach. Results: This paper explicates a survey on WSNs, upgrading EE in WSN based on the state model, EE improvement in WSN based on the cluster model, and EE enhancement in WSN using a content-based model with its performance comparison. Conclusion: This paper evaluates the number of cluster heads (CHs) of CADS in different nodes with different schemes for WSNs and a comparison of the four schemes in WSNs.
