In week 7 , I have conducted some of the most useful researches, that could contribute in my understanding and could prove conclusion to the researched article.

The author made his research on increasing the durability and expanding the life of the wireless sensors. By proposing power efficient plans where power consumption are decreased and further increasing the life of sensor and nodes by. Author has introduced an algorithm SWORD by which power consumption of sensors and nodes could be reduced by 99.48% by using sleep and wake algorithm. Author has explained steps of SWORD algorithm as well as with a flow chart. Author has determined length of data packet by using a ZigBee protocol and then found an equation to calculate the power consumption. Author demonstrated by using SWORD algorithm in an experiment to show prolonged energy of battery by 1093 days.
