:A wireless sensor network is a collection of a large number of sensors nodes densely deployed. Sensor nodes are used to sense environmental data and collect information at a central place. Sensors have been a regular part in our daily life, they can be very much used in isolation to solve many problems like in car, ac, and to measure temperature, sound, pollution levels, humidity, wind speed direction and pressure. They can be used in isolation. But the important focus is on some crucial applications where human life is associated, environmental is associated for example the battlefields, earth quick monitoring, flood monitoring, weather forecasting etc. These are some of the biggest applications which need the invention of sensor nodes rather than manual human forces. Here sensor nodes cannot work in isolation because one sensor cannot gather appropriate data. Therefore, it is needed to deploy a large number of sensor nodes, which can exchange data through some communication strategy or protocol, and thereafter the data should be maintained to a common place where some action should be taken. For providing efficient applications among these sensor nodes, an efficient routing protocol or algorithm needs which could provide the QoS to the end user. Most of the routing protocols for WSNs are designed without explicitly considering the Quality of Service (QoS) of the generated routes. It has been observed that such routing protocols are inadequate at the time of data delivery route which requires guaranteed QoS. QoS routing requires discovering a route from source to destination to fulfill the QoS necessities. QoS is more complicated to assurance in sensor network due to dynamic topology and energy constraints. In this paper, recent issues and challenges have been considered in terms of research gap yet, QoS routing approaches have been deliberated, distribution of literature over recent years and QoS parameters distribution over recent years have been exposed, which are valuable for researchers for further investigation.

Clustering the sensor nodes and choosing the way for routing the data are two key elements that would affect the performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper, a novel clustering method is proposed and a simple two-hop routing model is adopted for optimizing the network layer of the WSN. New protocol is characterized by simplicity and efficiency (SE). During the clustering stage, no information needs to be shared among the nodes and the position information is not required. Through adjustment of two parameters in SE, the network on any scale (varies from the area and the number of nodes) could obtain decent performance. This work also puts forward a new standard for the evaluation of the network performance—the uniformity of the nodes' death—which is a complement to merely taking the system lifetime into consideration. The combination of these two aspects provides a more comprehensive guideline for designing the clustering or routing protocols in WSN.

Data mining plays an important role in analysis of data in modern sensor networks. A sensor network is greatly constrained by the various challenges facing a modern Wireless Sensor Network. This survey paper focuses on basic idea about the algorithms and measurements taken by the Researchers in the area of Wireless Sensor Network with Health Care. This survey also catego-ries various constraints in Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks data and finds the best suitable techniques for analysing the Sensor Data. Due to resource constraints and dynamic topology, the quality of service is facing a challenging issue in Wireless Sensor Networks. In this paper, we review the quality of service parameters with respect to protocols, algorithms and Simulations. 


The fundamental issue is framing the sensor nodes and steering the information from sender node to receiver node in wireless sensor networks (WSN). To resolve this major difficulty, clustering algorithm is one of the accessible methods employed in wireless sensor networks. Still, clustering concept also faces some hurdles while transmitting the data from source to destination node. The sensor node is used to sense the data and the source node helps to convey the information and the intended recipient receives the sensed information. The clustering proposal will choose the cluster head depending on the residual energy and the sensor utility to its cluster members. The cluster heads will have equal cluster number of nodes. The complexity is generated in computing the shortest path and this can be optimized by Dijkstra’s algorithm. The optimization is executed by Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm that eliminates the delay in packet delivery, energy consumption, lifetime of the packet and hop count while handling the difficulties. The shortest path calculation will improve the quality of service (QoS). QoS is the crucial problem due to loss of energy and resource computation as well as the privacy in wireless sensor networks. The security can be improvised in this projected work. The preventive metrics are discussed to upgrade the QoS facility by civilizing the privacy parameter called as Safe and Efficient Query Processing (SAFEQ) and integrating the extended watchdog algorithm in wireless sensor networks.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of many tiny, autonomous sensor nodes capable of sensing, computation and communication. The main objective of IEEE 802.15.4 based WSN standard is to provide low cost, low power and short range communication. Providing QoS in WSN is a challenging task due to its severe resource constraints in terms of energy, network bandwidth, memory, and CPU. In this chapter, Quality of Service (QoS) performance evaluation has been carried out for IEEE 802.15.4 networks based WSN star and mesh topology using routing protocols like AODV, DSR and DYMO in QualNet 4.5 simulator. Performance evaluations metrics like Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput, average end to end delay, energy per goodput bit, network lifetime of battery model and total energy consumption which includes transmission, reception, idle and sleep mode were considered for both the topology. From the simulation studies and analysis, it can be seen that on an average DSR and DYMO performs better than AODV for different traffic load rates.

With the growing demand for quality-of-service (QoS) aware routing protocol in wireless networks, QoS-based routing has emerged as an interesting research topic. Quality of service guarantee in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is difficult and more challenging due to the fact that the available resources of sensors and the various applications running over these networks have different constraints in their nature and requirements. In this paper, we present a heuristic neighbor selection mechanism in WSNs that uses the geographic routing mechanism combined with the QoS requirements to provide multiobjective QoS routing (MQoSR) for different application requirements. The problem of providing QoS routing is formulated as link, and path-based metrics. The link-based metrics are partitioned in terms of reliability, delay, distance to sink, and energy, and the path-based metrics are presented in terms of end-to-end delay, reliability of data transmission, and network lifetime. The simulation results demonstrate that MQoSR protocol is able to achieve the delay requirements, and due to optimum path selection process, the achieved data delivery ratio is always above the required one. MQoSR protocol outperforms the existing model in the literature remarkably in terms of reliable data transmission, time data delivery, and routing overhead and underlines the importance of energy-efficient solution to enhance network lifetime.
