An Overview on the various Frameworks available for recharging Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are finding its applications in different environments in our day to day life. However a drawback that our current technology faces is the technical knowledge of how these networks can be kept up and functioning to an efficient level. The power consumption and replenishment of these sensors that are deployed in the environment to be monitored has been a challenging factor since decades. Researches on the improvements in the efficiency in the power consumption of WSNs have been on the spotlight for quite a while. Premature energy depletion and outdated recharging strategies are some of the major areas that require improvement in the WSNs.

In this paper we discuss on the existing technologies and new proposals on the various frameworks that have been designed to improve the efficiency in the recharging of Sensors deployed in WSNs
