Abstract

The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has never been free of challenges and many researchers have been interested in overcoming these challenges. The energy consumption, longevity, and performance of the networks are among the main challenges and have drawn a great deal of attention from researchers. Delving deeper into the issues we encounter more detailed parameters that are the cause of these challenges. To put it another way, there are trivial but at the same time effective parameters whose improvement can enhance the network and overcome the challenges. This chapter tries to introduce and survey all the parameters from a technical viewpoint and presents a general report on the previous works. In addition, advantages and weaknesses of the factors and approaches to improving WSNs are discussed. The study proposes a classification of the parameters and processes that affect different layers of the networks. Furthermore, a comparison of the common methods and further recommendations are represented. Each comparison is concluded by a proposal of the best method to deal with the challenges and improve the networks.
