Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been gaining attention from both researchers and user community due to its multitudinous uses, prospects, and possibilities. The areas of application of a WSN may vary from a small scale health-monitoring system (containing a few sensors) to a large scale soil-monitoring system (consisting of thousands of sensors). The deployment of the nodes of a WSN is generally done in hazardous, hostile or hard to reach environment, which makes replacement of power units infeasible. So energy efficiency becomes a major concern in these type of networks. A wide range of literature is available proposing various schemes and protocols pertaining to energy efficiency and network longevity. This paper is intended to provide the reader with a holistic view on some major energy-efficient schemes with classifications based on the network layer affected.
