Mohit Mittal, Krishan Kumar . Quality of Services Provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks using Artificial Neural Network: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 117, 5 ( May 2015), 28-40. DOI=10.5120/20553-2931
Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of emerging trends in networking technologies being used for communication purpose in modern life. It has mainly comprised of small sensor nodes (SNs) with limited resources. Individual SNs are connected with each other and make the communication possible. Enhancement in the communication among sensor nodes or Sensor-to-Sink nodes is today's most prominent objective. In this paper we have surveyed artificial neural network for different QOS parameters of WSN. Artificial neural network (ANN) is very prominent emerging area for WSN applications. Generally, artificial neural networks are classified in supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Unsupervised learning includes algorithms like Hebbian, Winner-take-all, ART, ART1, ART2, counter propagation network etc. , while supervised learning includes perceptron model, delta learning rule, error back-propagation etc. ANN helps to achieve the better quality of services for communication in wireless sensor networks at the greater extent. We have summarized the survey of neural networks' techniques applied for WSN applications so far.
