Abstract: The possibility for broad usage of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in many various sectors, such as environmental monitoring, security, home automation and many others, has increased research interest in WSNs. Although its successes, the broad proliferation of WSNs, especially in distant and inhospitable areas where their usage is most advantageous, is hindered by the primary obstacle of limited energy, as they are often battery operated. To provide these energy-hungry sensor nodes with a longer life expectancy, one technique to achieve this aim is to reduce the frequency of data transfer. Conversely, a portion of the observed data could be predicted to avoid initiating communications that might overwhelm the wireless channel. In this paper, we classify and analyse current prediction-based data reduction strategies for WSNs. Our key contribution is a systematic technique for choosing a prediction model in WSNs based on WSN limitations, prediction technique features and observed data.
