Lifetime Estimation Impact Factors in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network: A Survey

Abstract

The self-hierarchical capacity of ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have driven them to be the most mainstream decision in ubiquitous mobile computing. Apart from arranging and overseeing WSN, the principle challenges incorporate constrained resources, accurate lifetime estimation and dynamic topology. Nodes in wireless network are battery powered, so vitality scarceness is a significant concern. For reliable transfer of information in the network one should consider the various attributes to estimate the lifetime of WSN accurately. This work comprises to provide comprehensive analysis of existing lifetime estimation protocols and their attributes. The authors summarized and compared their performances so that future plans must inculcate these impact factors to design a persistent lifetime estimation protocol to transfer the data in WSN to meet future potential applications.
