Application of Particle Swarm Optimization for Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Network: a Survey

In this paper we are going to survey the application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) in WSN over different type of clustering based algorithm techniques like LEACH,LEACH-C, PEGASIS, etc In WSN sensors are randomly deployed in the sensor field which brings the coverage problem. Hence energy and coverage problem are very scarce resources for such sensor systems and has to be managed wisely in order to extend the life of the sensors and maximizing coverage for the duration of a particular mission. In past a lot of cluster based algorithm and techniques were used. In this paper we also find out all type of PSO based algorithm, their application and limitation over present techniques to overcome the problems of low energy and coverage of sensor range.
