Survey on Energy Conservation in Wireless Sensor Networks

Indu Walia, Mohinder Singh

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are networks of autonomous nodes used for monitoring an environment. Developers of WSNs face challenges that arise from communication link failures; memory and computational constraints; and limited energy. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a simple; effective and computationally efficient optimization algorithm. The energy conservation techniques and algorithms for computing the optimal transmitting ranges in order to generate a network with desired properties while reducing sensors energy con- sumption are discussed and compared through simulations. We describe a new clustering based approach that utilizes the periodical coordination to reduce the overall energy usage by the network

Keywords: ad hoc network, energy conservation protocol
