Abstract

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), long lifetime requirement of different applications and limited energy storage capability of sensor nodes has led us to find out new horizons for reducing power consumption upon nodes. To increase sensor node's lifetime, circuit and protocols have to be energy efficient so that they can make a priori reactions by estimating and predicting energy consumption. The goal of this study is to present and discuss several strategies such as power-aware protocols, cross-layer optimization, and harvesting technologies used to alleviate power consumption constraint in WSNs.
