What are WSNs?
• Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs):– Highly distributed networks of small, lightweight
wireless nodes,– Deployed in large numbers,– Monitors the environment or system by
measuring physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity.
• Node:– sensing + processing + communication

Wireless Sensor Network
Sensor nodes scattered in a sensor field Each nodes has the capabilities to collect data and route data back to the sink (Base Station). Protocols and algorithms with self-organization capabilities.

Advantages of using WSN
• Fast, easy and flexible deployment• Reduced cost-of-ownership• Scalability• Mobility of nodes• Work under harsh conditions• Ability to deal with node failures• Dynamic network topology• Heterogeneity of nodes

Design Issues of WSNs
The main design goals of WSNs is to carry out data communication while trying to prolong the lifetime of the network and prevent connectivity degradation by employing aggressive energy management techniques

Power consumption in WSN
10Saturday 21 February 2015
The power issue in the wireless sensor network is one of the biggest challenges, because the sensor has a limited source of power which is also hard for replace or recharge.
“e.g. Sensors in the battlefield ,
Sensors in a large forest etc.”
Why limited source of power?– Inexpensive nature.– Limited size and weight.– Redundant nature.
Useful power consumption:• Transmitting or receiving data.• Processing query requests.• Forwarding queries and data to the neighbors.

Major Sources of energy waste in WSNs
12Saturday 21 February 2015
Wasteful power consumption:• Idle listening to the channel “waiting for possible
traffic.• Retransmitting because of collisions “e.g. two packets
arrived at the same time at the same sensor”.• Overhearing “when a sensor received a packet
doesn’t belong to it”.• Generating and handling control packets.• Over-emitting “when a sensor received a packet
while It is not reached.”

General approaches to energy saving
13Saturday 21 February 2015
We identify three main enabling techniques namely:• Duty cycling• Data-driven and• Mobility
Fig:6(Different approaches)

Duty cycling
Duty cycling can be achieved through two different and complementary approaches :
• The first is topology control which reduces the number of nodes involved in forwarding and routing packets generated by the other nodes without reducing network connectivity and coverage.
• The second method is a power management scheme which introduces MAC protocols and a wakeup scheduling scheme in which during idle state, a node sleeps in more slots and still maintains network connectivity.

Data-driven
There are two ways by which data driven approach affects energy consumption :
• First it sorts out unneeded samples which results in useless energy consumption and stops them from being transmitted to the sink.
• Secondly, it minimizes the power consumption of the sensing subsystem by keeping the accuracy of the sensor at a reasonable level.

Mobility
Mobility of sensor nodes can be achieved in different ways:
• First, a mobilizer can be attached to a sensor which helps to change its location; however this movement is limited to few nodes which are not inhibited by energy.
• Another method is to put sensors on mobile elements such as animals and cars.

Conclusion:
• Energy is one of the most critical resources for WSNs. Extensive research has been conducted to address these limitations by developing schemes that can improve resource efficiency.• In this seminar, we have summarized some research results which have been presented in the literature on energy saving methods in sensor networks.• Although many of these energy saving techniques look promising, there are still challenges that need to be solved in the sensor networks.
