Abstract

Energy conservation is one of the critical design issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSN comprises of a huge collection of resource-restricted devices called sensor nodes (SNs). These nodes are deployed in network dimensions to sense and predict hazardous environmental conditions. Being dispersed randomly in unattended areas, these SNs face different challenges like rapid energy drainage, stability period, node localization, node deployment, clustering, etc. This study presents the potential of different soft computing paradigms namely Fuzzy Logic (FL), Evolutionary Algorithms (EA), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Swarm Intelligence (SI) optimization in tackling with the issue of energy efficiency in WSNs.
