A Comprehensive Survey on Efficient Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to monitor physical or environmental condition like pressure, temperature, sound. Also the wireless sensor networks have been used in the field of army it is also used in the field of factories and health. The Sensor nodes are used for event detection, continuous sensing, event ID, location sensing also includes local control of systems. It has environmental applications where sensor networks include tracking the movements of small animal, insects and birds ; monitoring environmental conditions that affects livestock’s and crops, irrigation; macro instruments in huge scale The wireless sensor networks works on the basis of inbuilt power which may be a Battery. In the system that exist the Leach protocol plays an important role and the important issue it has is energy consumption. The comparison has been made with various protocols and finally the result shows that PDORP protocol that is put forward which is a direction based protocol helps in reducing the energy consumption and it does so by finding the Best Path.
