Abstract

Due to the potential applications of Wireless Sensor Network in numerous areas, it has gained lot of importance but its functionality is subjected to lifetime of network, energy efficiency of node/network, security of data, coverage of whole network etc. The main aim of this study is to investigate the various domains of Wireless Sensor Networks. These following domains are routing, MAC layer, clustering, deployment, attacks and cryptography. Study of these techniques is concluded through comparison of different protocols on the performance measuring parameters like power consumption, scalability, quality of service, data aggregation and query based approach. It is found from the simulation that MCFA protocol works better than LEACH, SPIN, SMAC, Rumor Routing etc. in terms of power usage, quality of service, scalability and data aggregation.

Keywords:

Clustering, cryptography, deployment, MAC, routing, Wireless sensor network,
