The most critical issue in wireless sensor networks is data collection. The primary goal of data collection is to collect a large amount of data while minimising data loss due to sensor node memory capacity limitations. Effective data collection techniques can boost sensor network performance. Many researchers have proposed different methods for collecting data in sensor networks. A survey on data collection in wireless sensor networks is described in this paper. We review recent advances in this research area in this paper. We begin by highlighting the unique characteristics of data collection in WSNs. Then we talk about issues and previous solutions for the data gathering protocol design and the data dissemination protocol design. Our discussion also includes various data gathering protocols, which are an important component for energy efficient data gathering and have a significant impact on the overall performance of a data collection WSN system.
