Survey of Energy-Efficient Techniques for the Cloud-Integrated Sensor Network

Table 7

Energy-efficient load balancing techniques for the sensor cloud.

References	Algorithm/method	Problem discussed	Benefit/achievement	Drawback/limitation
[37]	Cooperative node selection policy	Fair use of nodes	Less energy consumption	Issues related to multihop transmission with the resource constraint environment are not addressed
[38]	Selection of access point scheme	Monitoring of complex events	Reliable, less response time, good coverage, and energy efficient	Does not support QoS related to video processing
[39]	Load balancing using hybrid ant colony optimization	Dividing tasks and scheduling	Less time to compute, less end to end delay, and more network lifetime	Scalability and node failure issues are not addressed
[40]	Routing technique	Balancing the energy consumption of all nodes	Increased network lifetime	Does not support scalability and QoS
