Network Health Improvement Techniques

Abstract

With the advancement in technology, there are recent developments in the micro-sensor devices that have accelerated the progress in the field of sensor networks. Sensing Point Areas (SPAs) uses are in various applications like battlefield monitoring detection of Enemy vehicles and environment surveillance. In all the application energy consumption is one of the constraints and is critical that affects the Network Health (NH) of the Sensor Area. Energy utilization in an efficient manner is crucially important to maintain a network in its operational condition for the longest time. Therefore, Network Health (NH) improvement techniques have gained more attention to extend the unmarked operation of battery-constrained WSNs. In this paper, we review the application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the summary of various kinds of networks, energy consumption model, NH definition, and its improvement techniques.
