Methods and Techniques of Energy Management Schemes in WSN

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as a result of the potential for their widespread use in many different areas like home automation, security, environmental monitoring, and many more. To prolong the lifetime for these energy hungry sensor nodes, energy management schemes have been proposed to keep the sensor nodes alive making the network more operational and efficient. This network also fails to maintain a long lifespan to manage and maintain network strength in terms of lifespan. By various scholars, several algorithms are proposed with an aim to extend the lifespan of WSN’s. The current review presents the state of the art in the energy management schemes, the remaining challenges, and the open issues for future research work.
