A Review of Data Gathering Algorithms for Real-Time Processing in Internet of Things Environment

Abstract

Today, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become an enabler technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The emergence of various applications has then enabled the need for robust and efficient data collection and transfer algorithms. This paper presents a comprehensive review for the existing data gathering algorithms and the technologies adopted for that applications. After reviewing the algorithms and the challenges related to them, which extend the physical reach of the monitoring capability; they possess several constraints such as limited energy availability, low memory size, and low processing speed, which are the principal obstacles to designing efficient management protocols for WSN-IoT integration.
