“…In the cluster-based architecture, data is stored in three locations: the SN, the CH, and finally the BS. 16 Preceding survey studies and literature review focused on specific topics for instance a review of data aggregation in WSNs, [17][18][19][20][21][22] data compression methods, 21,23 hierarchical routing protocols, [24][25][26] a survey of clustering in heterogeneous and homogeneous WSN, 26 energy-efficient routing protocol, [27][28][29][30] energy efficiency in WSNs, [31][32][33][34] network lifetime, 35,36 data management in WSN, 6,[37][38][39] machine learning [40][41][42][43] and deep learning [38] in WSN, computational intelligence techniques 44 and network monitoring in WSN, 45 big data challenges in WSN, 22,46,47 security issues in WSN, [48][49][50] multi-objective QoS optimization in WSN, 51 localization and coverage in WSN 52,53 (presented in detail in Section 2). This review article, on the other hand, intends to categorize the current data transmission reduction techniques...…”
