Survey on Data Aggregation Technique for Wireless Sensor Networks based on IF algorithm

Wireless sensor Networks (WSN) comprises of sensor nodes which have the capability to sense and communicate. The capabilities of these nodes have certain limitations such as limited computational, memory and communication resources. These networks have huge application in military, disaster management and security. Due to limited resources it is very essential to curtail the amount of data transmission. One of the novel techniques in wireless sensor networks is data aggregation. This algorithm mainly focuses on enhancing the network lifetime by gathering and aggregating data in an energy efficient manner. The purpose of this survey is to present a critical overview of different data aggregating algorithm in wireless sensor network. Also discussed the advantages and limitations of various data aggregating algorithm and compared them. In wireless sensor network data aggregation is highly vulnerable to node compromising attacks. This paper focuses on different approaches used for the purpose of secure data aggregation and its a variety of energy-efficient uses in wireless sensor network. Proposed work mainly concentrated on attacks on both cluster member as well as aggregator.
