Wireless sensor networks

In a wireless sensor network, energy is almost always the greatest limitation.
Energy sources are restricted in many of the environments where nodes are
deployed, limiting them to the use of batteries for power. Therefore,
conserving energy is supremely important, however, such a task poses many
challenges to hardware and protocol design. One of the greatest problems
faced is reducing the energy consumption of the communications systems,
which represents a substantial amount of the total consumption. This paper
surveys the most recent schemes designed to reduce the communications
module energy consumption with a focus on novel MAC protocols for ad-hoc
wireless sensor networks. It initially describes the many challenges involved,
then it analyses each protocol individually. Finally, the presented protocols are
compared and the issues that remain open are raised for further research.
