This interaction is enabled by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) used to identify and to interpret contexts. However, the IoT and WSN have intrinsically challenges, particularly Network Lifetime (NL) maximisation. In this context, researchers have developed power-aware mechanisms for WSN and IoT. These mechanisms delay the battery depletion of a sensor node and extend the NL to ensure continuous full operational network activity. Accordingly, in this paper, we review and discuss various recent contributions related to nature inspired power-aware wake-up scheduling approaches. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive taxonomy of the various nature-inspired wake-up schedule mechanisms. Besides this paper provides for the reviewed approaches usability contexts. © 2020 IEEE.enPermission to reuse abstract has been secured from Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.Internet of thingsNetwork Lifetime (NL) maximizationWake-Up ScheduleWireless Sensor NetworksBiomimeticsMobile computingPower management (telecommunication)SchedulingHuman societyInternet of thing (IOT)Network lifetimeOperational networkPhysical environmentsPower-awareSmart worldWake-up schedulingStudy of Nature Inspired Power-aware Wake-Up Scheduling Mechanisms in WSNConference PaperCopyright : Copyright : © 2020 IEEE.
