Abstract
Wireless sensor network (WSN) studies have been carried out for multiple years. At this stage, many real WSNs have been deployed. Therefore, configuration and updating are critical issues. In this paper, we discuss the issues of configuring and updating a wireless sensor network (WSN). Due to a large number of sensor nodes, in addition to the limited resources of each node, manual configuring turns out to be impossible. Therefore, various auto-configuration approaches have been proposed to address the above challenges. In this survey, we present a comprehensive review of auto-configuration mechanisms with the taxonomy of classifications of the existing studies. For each category, we discuss and compare the advantages and disadvantages of related schemes. Lastly, future works are discussed for the remaining issues in this topic.

Due to the cheap cost and the ease of deployment, sensor networks have been deployed in various areas, such as in home automation, building automation, urban areas, and industrial zones [1].the nature of resource-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [2] require an efficient way for the network design, deployment, and configuration [3]
The first one usually deals with assigning some parameters such as address [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18], roles [19,20,21,22,23,24], and QoS (Quality of Service) parameters [25,26,27] for sensors in a newly deployed WSN in order them to interact with other nodes
Summary
The nature of resource-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [2] require an efficient way for the network design, deployment, and configuration [3]. WSNs are normally a large collection of resource-constrained sensors that cover a wide area, so the network configuration is challenging [4,5,6,7,8]. The second stage is responsible for updating new requirements, applications, or software throughout the network [40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50]
