Abstract


Minimizing energy consumption of sensor nodes in a WSN plays an important role in enhancing network lifetime. Hotspot problem often occurs as a result of unbalanced energy consumption in the network, leading to network partition and lifetime reduction. It occurs in both single-hop and multi-hop communication pattern. In designing energy-efficient routing algorithms for a WSN, it is also important to mitigate the effect of hotspot problem. In this paper, a survey was carried out on some energy efficient routing protocols that considered mitigating hotspot problem in WSN. A summary of possible methods for mitigating hotspot problem was outlined.
