Optimization of Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Network – A Review

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are very popular currently and they have gained popularity over a decade. Sensor Networks are very popular because of diverse type of applications (Healthcare, Medical, Environmental, Industry, and Home). WSN is a cluster of sensor nodes that are used to monitor an area of events. Nodes are powered by a important aspect for the efficient working of wireless sensor networks. The longevity of wireless sensor networks is totally dependent on the optimum use of the available energy. Optimization is much needed for efficient utilization of energy. In this paper, various energy optimization techniques for efficient battery having restricted power budget. Therefore, the need for efficient utilization of energy arises. Energy is the most utilization of energy and application associated with wireless sensor network are reviewed.
