Data Reduction Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks Applications: Review

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) appear as an active research area due to challenging issues, including power consumption, routing algorithms, efficiency, and so on. Notwithstanding the open problems in WSN, there is already a high number of applications available. In any case for the design of any application, one of the main goals is to keep WSN as long as possible in terms of the life cycle and function. This paper discussed previous works that focused on the data reduction and routing algorithms, which aims to save energy consumption by the sensor node. Besides, it concludes the limitations in current studies and further research opportunities as well.
