Review Techniques in Energy Conservation and Sink Node Privacy Preservation in Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are applied in different fields of human endeavor such as security services in military and police operations, civilian and commercial purposes. Their use is of increasing demand in the global society recently as the need for data gathering to solve big data problem is on the rise. Today, Internet of Things (IoT) is the technology being used to provide seamless remote operations in all fields using sensors that are wirelessly networked. Hence, considering the amount of that passing through these networks and the security required of them to ensure that privacy of data is concealed and secured; the need for providing adequate protection for WSNs while ensuring prolong operation by increasing their life span by ensuring energy saving capacity becomes very paramount. This paper has carried out empirical review of implemented techniques for energy preservation and privacy provision in WSNs.
