Abstract

In the last years, the research community and actual users have enabled to increase the attention of Wireless Sensor Networks. The lifetime of the sensor node is based on battery powered devices. Several authors discussed the different energy consumption techniques for different layers. Consolidated efficient energy consumption techniques are missing.  This paper provides a detailed study about all the existing energy conservation techniques and also explains about limitations available in the techniques. In this paper, the energy conservation approaches and its algorithms for computing the optimal transmitting ranges in order to generate a network with desired properties are discussed. Finally this paper concludes with insights for research techniques about energy conservation in Wireless Sensor Networks.
