Abstract EN
Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) emerge as an active research area in which challenging topics involve energy consumption, routing algorithms, selection of sensors location according to a given premise, robustness, efficiency, and so forth.
Despite the open problems in WSNs, there are already a high number of applications available.
In all cases for the design of any application, one of the main objectives is to keep the WSN alive and functional as long as possible.
A key factor in this is the way the network is formed.
This survey presents most recent formation techniques and mechanisms for the WSNs.
In this paper, the reviewed works are classified into distributed and centralized techniques.
The analysis is focused on whether a single or multiple sinks are employed, nodes are static or mobile, the formation is event detection based or not, and network backbone is formed or not.
We focus on recent works and present a discussion of their advantages and drawbacks.
Finally, the paper overviews a series of open issues which drive further research in the area.
