Energy Efficiency in Sensor Based IoT using Mobile Agents: A Review
Harshit Kumar Srivastava, Rajendra Kumar Dwivedi · 2020
These days Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been used in various Internet of Things (IoT) applications viz., healthcare monitoring, disaster management, smart buildings, smart farming etc. it is one of the substitutes for solving distinct problems of IoT in various areas. Power efficiency is one of the major issues with sensor networks. In the earlier days, WSN was working on Client Server (CS) model, but for the improvement of energy efficiency, researchers proposed Mobile Agent (MA) based WSN. This paper presents a survey of various techniques used to solve the problem of energy efficiency in WSN. The paper focuses its discussion on single agent and multi agent based protocols. A comparative analysis is also provided to summarize the survey.
