“…Currently, WSNs have had applicability in various applications in the real world. They have been set up in monitoring and prompting appropriate disaster management units about impending havoc such as wildfires, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes [5]; [1]; [6] and for monitoring the strengths and weaknesses of constructed edifices such as roads, buildings and bridges [7] [8]. The life of humans and animals depends largely on availability and purity of water sources particularly for domestic consumption.…”

Originated envisaged for military functions, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have gain wide-ranging applicability including in home, business, agriculture, environment monitoring, health care and structural engineering. Despite the immeasurable benefits, Wireless Sensor Networks have inherent constraints arising mainly from its low battery powered sensor nodes. Many design efforts have focused on designing energy efficient means of monitory and transmitting required application specific events as long as required. Different energy-efficient schemes have been developed in past studies to varying successes. This paper reviews some relevant literature on existing routing protocols for wireless sensor network with much emphasis given to the Low Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, its variant protocols as well as its security-enabled versions.

“…Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of spatially distributed, autonomous, wireless, networked sensing devices that can be used to monitor a physical space (Yick et al 2008;Sharma et al 2016). WSNs have gained increasing popularity for a range of applications, such as environmental monitoring (Khedo et al 2010;Bhattacharya et al 2012;Postolache et al 2014;Adamo et al 2015), animal tracking (Szewczyk et al 2004;Pereira et al 2008;Amundson and Koutsoukos 2009;Radoi et al 2015), monitoring for disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods (Estrin et al 2002;Akyildiz et al 2002;Devasena and Sowmya 2015), and health monitoring of civil structures such as bridges and buildings (Lee et al 2007;Kim et al 2007;Hu et al 2013).…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are crucial in supporting continuous environmental monitoring, where sensor nodes are deployed and must remain operational to collect and transfer data from the environment to a base-station. However, sensor nodes have limited energy in their primary power storage unit, and this energy may be quickly drained if the sensor node remains operational over long periods of time. Therefore, the idea of harvesting ambient energy from the immediate surroundings of the deployed sensors, to recharge the batteries and to directly power the sensor nodes, has recently been proposed. The deployment of energy harvesting in environmental field systems eliminates the dependency of sensor nodes on battery power, drastically reducing the maintenance costs required to replace batteries. In this article, we review the state-of-the-art in energy-harvesting WSNs for environmental monitoring applications, including Animal Tracking, Air Quality Monitoring, Water Quality Monitoring, and Disaster Monitoring to improve the ecosystem and human life. In addition to presenting the technologies for harvesting energy from ambient sources and the protocols that can take advantage of the harvested energy, we present challenges that must be addressed to further advance energy-harvesting-based WSNs, along with some future work directions to address these challenges.

“…Several techniques are used such as symmetric encryption, it depends on the use of a single key in both sides sender node and receiver one, but such methodology is not enough and we need an additional strategy that distinguish a malicious node even if it somehow obtained the key. Building trust between the different nodes is the intended approach [4].…”
