Abstract

Sensing the same region of a physical environment by many sensor nodes results in wastage of energy. This behavior conflicts with the most important requirement of a wireless sensor network which is power efficiency. Thus, it is essential to have a mechanism to eliminate high redundancy while preserving an acceptable level of network coverage. In this paper, we review the proposed protocols in the literature that aim to eliminate the sensing redundancy in wireless sensor networks.
