Description

Wireless sensor networks are communication networks that deal with sensor devices that are wirelessly interconnected in order to collect and forward data between different environments. Network scaling of small sensor devices with all its limitations has a foolproof scope for future applications. The advantage of minimal infrastructural cost and applicability within challenging environments make it an attractive choice. Statistics have been shown to prove the demand for research for synchronization and localization as a research problem. WSNs are capable of dynamically building virtual infrastructure and getting synchronized with the rhythm of communication setup. Limitations in the amount of energy that can be utilized make it a necessity for the networks to be more optimal in terms of energy consumption. These challenges necessitate the need to study and analyze the recent advancements implemented in approaching synchronization and localization problems. This paper reviews recent research proposals and methodologies to identify related attributes and their relation to the system. A detailed comparative study is conducted to identify relevant patterns that influence the performance of the networks in terms of energy consumption. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
