Abstract

Energy Efficient and QoS based data gathering is a quite challenging for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications such as target tracking and monitoring, because of limited battery resources. This study focuses on survey of various MAC protocols that consumes lesser energy by using dynamic clustering techniques and Routing protocols that are used to achieve Energy Efficient and QoS Data Gathering by assigning priority to the generating packets and data fusion techniques in WSN for various applications.

Keywords: Data Funnelling, Data Gathering, MAC-Medium Access Control, Quality of Service (QoS), Routing Protocol, Wireless Sensor Network
