Energy Optimization-Based Clustering Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks and Internet of Things-Survey

Abstract

Research on popular themes today is mainly concentrated on cutting-edge home applications made up of Internet of Things gadgets. As its principal means of sensing, wireless sensor networks are a component of the Internet of Things. Tracking and monitoring applications benefit from the use of sensor nodes. Every step in the data collection, processing, and transmission processes carried out by wireless sensor nodes takes energy. Small capacity batteries on the sensor nodes in the networks make charging them frequently impractical. Energy optimization is required for sensor nodes since there is no other option but to replace the nodes. Clustering is a well-known and effective solution to increase the energy efficiency of the sensor nodes among the various routing techniques. The closest route between the cluster head node and the base station is thus determined using routing techniques in order to manage energy.
