Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN), which consist of randomly deployed tiny sensors, data processing unit, and communicating components, have a wide range of applications, such as industry, agriculture, business, military, and health. Because power supply might be impossible, it is the key problem to find an efficient energy strategy for prolonging network´s lifetime. This article made a detailed introduction for energy management of WSN, analyzing energy strategies used for WSN.
