Abstract
Location of the base station plays an important role in a wireless sensor networks because the position of the base station governs the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. The main motive of this paper is to give the basic idea of the all possible approaches to find the optimal position of base station having different aspects, i.e., some approaches are suitable for low-density networks, and some can effectively work for highly deployed networks. Approximately all the recent works consider the energy consumption factor of the sensor node as well as base station to propose new algorithm based on WSN.
