Energy Optimization in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deals with the techniques which targets higher degree of energy efficiency using resource-constraint sensor nodes with minimal inclusion of any different variants of resources. At present, there are various approaches and techniques towards addressing the problems of energy but not all the research implications can be considered as optimized approach. Therefore, this paper reviews all the existing energy optimization schemes, categorizes them, briefly discuss about their strength and weakness to offer a compact snapshot of existing energy optimization techniques in WSN. The paper also contributes towards exploring the updates research trends and highlights about the open-end research problems in WSN. It is anticipated that the study findings of this manuscript will offer a true picture of study effectiveness in dealing with energy challenges so that favorable direction of investigation towards evolving up optimized solution comes up with promising outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
