A Survey on Novel Energy Efficient Sleep Scheduling Routing Protocol for long life Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

There have been enormous works that tried to increase the efficiency of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Most of the researchers have been using the clustering method in order to prolong the lifetime of sensor nodes in a WSN. The clustering of sensor nodes will result in the distribution of resource management in a WSN. Hence, this can avoid sensor nodes from being overloaded and promotes load distribution among the sensor nodes. In this paper, a number of related works using the clustering methods have been reviewed in depth. We have identified the gaps for each of the strategies used for each method. By using the gaps identified, a new routing protocol is proposed.
