A Comparative Analysis of Optimization Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

As we know that next era will be of IoT (Internet of things). According to cisco, one of the giant in Networking filed, in 2008 the n umber of thing connected to the internet was greater than the number of people living on the Earth. By 2020 that number will increase up to 50 billion. That clearly indicates that we all are surrounded by the sensors. So, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) will be the important part of our life in future. The sensor node is equipped with very small power supply. Failure of WSN or a single node of that network will cause for a serious effect on an operation, especially when WSN is used in critical application like military, healthcare monitoring etc. So power conservation is the biggest issue in WSN. Different kind of optimization algorithm used to get optimal output at each and every possible phenomenon where we can save the power. Routing and sensor deployment are two main issues where we can get fruitful output using optimization algorithm. This paper gives the brief detail of optimizing in WSN at different phenomenon.
