Energy-Efficiency Routing algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks: a Survey

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of tiny nodes that have low energy levels and have become an essential component of the modern communication infrastructure and very important in industry and academia. Energy is crucial in WSN, and thus the design of WSN in the research community is based on energy efficiency, and node energy consumption is a great challenge to enhance WSN's lifetime. It may be costly or even impossible to charge or replace consumed batteries because of the difficult environment. Many energy efficiency methods are introduced in this article to decrease energy consumption, improve network performance and increase network lifetime.
