Survey on Data Reduction Techniques for Energy Conservation for Prolonging Life of Wireless Sensor Network

Now a days, in every research, focus has been given to energy conservation and that is very essential for Wireless Sensor Network too. In the WSN energy need to be utilized properly to prolong the life of the network. The major energy consumed in wireless sensor network will be for transmission of data from source to destination. We need to focus on reduction of such data which is going to transmit from source to destination, which will reduce the energy and that will prolong the life of WSN. In this paper, survey of such research papers has been done which will help to minimize energy consumption. Many research papers are referred and some of the important and related papers are used for the survey. The focus of all the papers is on energy minimization through data mining techniques like data reduction, data compression and data prediction etc.. This survey proves that data mining is one the important techniques which will reduce data transmission and minimizes the energy consumption.
