In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) Packet size optimization is a major issue and many performance indicators (e.g., latency, network lifecycle, reliability and throughput) can be improved by it. In WSN, due to channel con- ditions, long packages encounter high loss rates. On the other hand, small pack- ages may be affected by an increase. Therefore, you have to choose the maxi- mum packet size to improve the different WSN performance matrix. Here in WSN to determine the maximum packet size several methods have been pro- posed. Deployment environments or specific applications are the center of at- traction of packet size optimization in the literature. However, to categorize these different methods there are no complete and recent survey files. In order to meet this demand, the recent research and optimization of the data size of the Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs), the small package encouraged the scientific community to find out more about this promise field of research. To better understand the various packet size optimization techniques used in appli- cation networks and variant types of sensors, and in this field introducing new research issues is the main purpose of this research. Keywords: Cross‐layer Design, Energy Efficiency, Network Reliability, Packet Size Optimization, Wireless Sensor Networks. 1 Introduction In many applications Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used such as logistics applications, military, space, commercial, precision agriculture and visual surveil- lance [1-6]. Generally, on the base of deployment environment WSNs can be catego- Copyright © 2020 for this paper by its authors.

COAPSN-2020: International Workshop on Control, Optimisation and Analytical Processing of Social Networks rized into four types: Body Area Sensor Networks (BASNs), Terrestrial WSNs (TWSNs), Underwater WSN (UWSN), and Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs). Each environment has its exclusive capabilities because of the environ- ment type used to transfer the data. It offers extra challenges due to its incredible changeable channel capabilities in a variety of promotional environments. [7]. The recent study shows that the size of the packet directly influences the contact performance of the nodes. It has come to know that due to difficulty conditions, Large Packets are more harmful, while Short packet data may cause overload [8]. In order to track service closure between network reliability and energy efficiency, a number of techniques have been analyzed to decide the maximum size of packet in the WSN. In figure 1, define to improve the optimization of data, by the use of relay nodes in wireless underground sensor networks. For networks with limited energy resources WUSNs, it is expected that more data transmission will be processed on Relay node to Collection center (Sink node). In this network, we conclude that all sensor nodes (including relay nodes) are randomly placed in the environment [9]. Fig. 1. Node Deployment in Underground Environment In figure 2, we offer general link layer packets format in the sensor network [8]. Note that there are 3 major factors of a package (trailer, payload and header). The infor- mation contains in header field is about the present segment number, the station node, the overall number of segments and the source node. For checking error parity bits are contained in the trailer field. The information bits are included in payload field. The bits LH, LT and LPL are used to represent lengths of the header, trailer and payload respectively. Fig. 2. In Sensor Networks Format of Typical Link‐layer Packet The Analysis of Dynamic Packet Length Control (DPLC) is shown in figure 3. The following are the principles of the work of the DPLC scheme. At the application level for transmission message is send by the application. The DPLC module sender's de- termines to use which one service if the length of the message is minimum the aggre- gation service (AS) is used or if the message length is greater than the highest packet length then the segmentation service (FS) is used CC2420 radio load (128 bytes). Link estimate in DPLC dynamically evaluates the length of the packet for communi- cation. On this basis, the DPLC module of the sender determines how the messages should be distributed for the total (AS) or frames in which the message should be split (for FS). When the frame is ready to send (enough messages are grouped or AS’s time has expired), the DPLC has to send through the Mac layer. [10], [12]. When the DPLC module obtains the Mac frame on receipt, later describes the frame or defragment the frame to get the original message. When the message is ready the Receiver DPLC module on the receipt informs the upper layer for further processing (Receiver has received all message frames or recipient’s buffer is full in the FS). Fig. 3. DPLC Overview According to standards of various wireless communications Packet size optimization can be accomplished [8-19]. Various optimization measures, such as energy efficien- cy and flow efficiency are used as accomplishment standards for optimization of packet size. For example, Authors use energy as well as improving to determine max- imum fixed length of packet to improve energy efficiency [8]. In addition, to improve energy efficiency they discovered the effects of failure prevention about improving packet size. On the other hand, the authors of [18] used flow efficiency as an assess- ment measure. The authors propose the conclusion of selecting the best packet size in multi-hop WUSNs. The fundamental target of this paper is to give a superior comprehension of packet size optimization ways utilized in WUSNs to present open research issues and diffi- culties in this research area. Table 1: Maximum Packet Size Based on the Application of WSN WSN application Requirements Optimum Packet Size Error‐free transmission & Military & Health care applications High‐energy efficiency 640 bits Battlefield monitoring and Environ- High‐energy efficiency 50 bits mental & security and industrial Therefore, before determining the optimal packet size application prerequisites (for example, low end-to-end latency, high energy efficiency, or high throughput) must be examined. In summary, maximum packet size according to the needs of a particular WSN application are listed in Table 1. 2 Literature Review on Packet Size Optimization For WUSNs In the paper [20], work is developed by the authors and the reported that savings of energy can range up to 50% with a 6d advantage. In addition, to determine the best bit rate gain with low computational complexity and the best energy savings a two-stage decision game was developed. WUSNs aims to provide real-time monitoring of diffi- cult underground environments, including soils, oil reservoirs, and underground mines and tunnels [21]. Fig. 4. Packet size optimization for a typical WUSNs In paper [22], the author builds an Intel layer fixture framework to improve WSN, WUSN and UWSN packet size. All of the following are taken into account while designing this solution, cross-layer effects of multi-hop routing; the broadcast func- tion of the wireless channel, underwater and underground and error control tech- niques. The relationship between routing decisions and packet size and the fundamen- tals of various types of applications is also examined in this study. The proposed cus- tomization solution order three different lens functions, such as input, bit rate energy and resources. Relaying on the essentials of the application each of these features can be utilized. In addition, the reliability effects and delay have also been studied. From the perspective of WUSNs, the underpass is modeled according to the results reported in the paper study [23], to determine the optimal size of the packet. They exhibit a path loss function as a function of soil properties, soil water volume content, error rate based on error function and signal to noise ratio. The soil's volatile water content is based on BR and SNR error function. Automatic re-application and BHC (128, 78, 7), error control methods are examined for imitation conclusions. The author shows a meaningful correlation among quantitative water content and package size. When the volumetric water content increased from 5% - 20%, the additional energy utilization increased by 60%, and the packaging rate decreased by 37%. In addition, it can be seen that as water content increases in the amount of water, the size of the maximum package is reduced, so communication protocol must be associated with the changes in soil water content and correspondingly change the size of the package to improve Performance of Underground surveillance programs.

Based on these existing studies, summaries and comparisons from WUSNs are pre- sented in Table 1, respectively, and it has been noticed that the size of the maximum packet significantly varies according to the needs of WSN application, and is also in the topology and method. 3 Research Issues in WUSNs Maximum research used to determine maximum packet size in WSN is for high ener- gy efficiency, high throughput and small size. Anyhow, this study is facing many challenges due to the specific requirements of the application and the features of the installed environment. Here, we will focus on these free research questions and chal- lenge for deciding a best pack size in WSN. 3.1 Service Provisioning QoS prerequisite of each WUSNs application alters as application changes. Subse- quently, the packet size development strategy accommodates the particular applica- tion necessities (e.g. energy effectiveness and low end to end delay). Pointing to the ideal packet size, it is important to understand the remote channel conditions to properly adjust. Besides, the ideal packet size can be balanced by the type of traffic; it can be a real, real time or best effort. Real-time packages require fewer dimensions, and with lines, small packet sizes can be used. Then again, for real time and best ef- fort packets, a long packet size can be preferred. 3.2 Transmission Power The use of electricity is an important issue due to the limited battery consumption plan of sensor hub. Numerous investigations outline space to decide ideal packet size to expand the energy effectiveness. Most work packets use in writing to reduce the transmission control. In any case, If the communication control is controlled by the conditions of channel, the ideal packet size can be found more accurately. 3.3 Cross‐layer Design The overall cross layer is close to the applied layer of physical layer because in USN, it has not been mentioned in literature for various USN applications for packet size reform. For instance, different models of antenna e.g. Omni-directional or directional radio wires at physical layer or diverse MAC conventions (e.g. CSMA, TDMA, and half) at the connection layer can be acknowledge to decide the ideal size of packet. 3.4 Reliable Communication Fault prevention is another basic issue in WUSNs, since the quantity of re- transmission diminishes when the communication free of error is accomplished. In the writing, some fault preventing components, for example, ARQ, FEC, and half and half strategies, are applied to get the ideal packet size. But, the performance meas- urement of these systems hasn’t been fully compared for various WUSN applications to get the comparing ideal packet size. 3.5 Cognitive Spectrum Recently, CRSNs has been subjected to solve the problem of lack of wireless sensor networks spectrum. However, current packet size solution prepared for WSN is not directly applied to CRSN [18]. A spectrum warning is resolved to maximize network performance and energy efficiency while the ratio of ratio is maintained, which inter- feres with the acceptable level for licensed users. 3.6 Cognitive Spectrum The WUSNs execution can be improved by Energy Harvesting (EH) with charging capacity of itself. In the environment accessible energy, for example, energy from magnetic, sun and thermal can be managed to control remote sensor. However, the current packet measure optimization methods for WUSNs can't be straight forwardly applied to EH- USNs. This is on account of the present energy changes on time, rather than constantly diminishing in energy‐harvesting WUSNs. As a result, energy short- age requires an ideal packet size management to adjust the energy closure between energy usage and QoS. In this section, we define four aspects for the necessary WUSN design for this unique environment: antennas design, Power savings, extreme environments and to- pology design. 3.7 Power Conservation Depending on the application required, the lifetime of the WUSN equipment should be at least a few years in order to increase its deployment costs. Damage of under- ground channels complicates the challenge, which requires Wi-Fi equipment that is far higher than thermal association devices for the highest radio transmission power. Therefore, energy- saving is mainly the main concern in the WUSN design of the wireless sensor network. WUSN's life is limited by each device's free power supply. Unfortunately, maximum deployment is more difficult to reach groundwater WSN devices to access WUSN devices; it is less likely to charge devices for charging or replacement of their power supply. Although the use of information technology can be used to recharge the devices posted near the device, it is difficult, if not possible to charge deeper devices. It is also difficult to determine a new device to change the failure device. In addition, Terrestrial Wireless Sensor Network Equipment can be equipped with solar cells [14], [27] or to convert conventional power supply, which is not clearly the choice of WUSN equipment. WUSN equipment, such as bass vibration or thermal gradients, have to be converted into energy [25], [28], [29], but it has been found that these methods provide sufficient energy to run devices without traditional equipment can do. In [24], the state of the art in more unconventional techniques for energy scavenging is surveyed. For generating energy from, thermoelectric conver- sion, vibration excitation and background radio signals technologies are described by the authors. Therefore, energy conservation should be the main purpose of WUSN design. While increasing the device life through the means of large storage power, it is not necessary that this sensor increases the cost and size of the device. By using commu- nication protocols and power-efficient hardware and protection can be achieved. 3.8 Topology Design Designing right topology for WUSN is critical for network reliability and power sav- ing. WUSN topologies can be very different from their land counterparts. For exam- ple, in order to perform excavation mining for deployment, the WUSN device is usu- ally carefully planned. In addition, the 3D topologies in WUSN are also common, depending on the sensing application; the devices are deployed at different depths. The application of WUSN will play an important role in determining its topology, but also reducing power consumption and deployment costs should also be considered in design. In order to create the best topology, these ideas should have a careful balance. Here, we provide concerns associated with each of these considerations as well as suggest new WUSN topologies. 3.8.1 Intended Application Sensor devices must be close to the phenomenon they are deployed to perceive; this determines the depth of their deployment. Some applications may require a very deep deployment of sensor in small physical areas, while other applications may probably be interested in sensing with low density but in large area. For example, security ap- plications require deployment of underground pressure sensor, whereas soil-proof applications require fewer devices because differences in very little distance are not visible in soil properties. 3.8.2 Power Usage Minimization Intelligent topology design helps save power in WUSN. Since the ratio between the transmitter and the receiver is relatively proportional to the control, the power con- sumption by designing a topology is designed with a large number of short-range hops instead of minimized range hops can be reduced. 3.8.3 Cost Unlike free sensors, free sensors only require physical distribution equipment, critical personnel, and such costs, and are included in the mining required to deploy WUSN. Deep sensor device, the price is high – Unlike ground sensor devices, earth sensor devices only require physical distribution of goods, so there is a significant amount and value involved in the mining need to be deployed. The deeper the sensor device, the more mining it needs to deploy it and the higher the cost of deploying the device. Additional charges occur when the power of each device is over and the device needs to be replaced or recharge and must be unearthed for it. Therefore, when the price is a factor, deployment of deep equipment can be avoided as much as possible, and should minimize the number of devices. Minimizing deployment conflicts with the proposed dense deployment strategy of power considerations and must establish appropriate trade-offs. Consider the above factors; we suggest that two possible WUSN topologies should be used to address maximum underground sensing applications. These are hybrid and underground topologies. 3.8.4 Underground Topology It includes all sensor inland deployments, except for the sink, which can be positioned in the ground or above, as shown in Figure 5. Like the Territorial Wireless Sensor Networks, the WUSN receiver node receives all data from sensor networks. Under- ground land can be single- dimensional, i.e. all sensor devices are in multi depth or single deep, i.e. sensor devices are in different depths. Communication protocols and sensor device hardware for multi-depth networks require special consideration to ensure that data can be efficiently routed to surface receivers. Depth of the deploy- ment of goods depends on the network application. For example, pressure sensor is to be kept near the ground, and soil water should be located near the root of the sensor plant. It reduces (or removes) top-level equipment (if it is a groundwater tank) provid- ing maximum concealment of the network. The equipment posted on the hollow depths can be able to take advantage of the channel's groundwater air-landing route, resulting in a low-way loss of ground-based groundwater channels. Fig. 5. Underground Topology 3.8.5 Hybrid Topology This form consists of a mixture of underground and above ground sensor devices as illustrated in Figure 6. Since wireless signals are capable to travel freely in the air and the loss rate is less while when wireless signals are propagated through soil loss rate is high, to transmit over a given distance the underground sensor devices require more power output than the aboveground sensor devices. In fewer hops movement of data out of underground is allowed in hybrid topology, highland underground hop trading for less expensive hops in a casting network. In addition, ground equipment is more accessible when the power supply needs to be replaced or charged. Therefore, if se- lected, electricity expenditure should be completed by ground equipment instead of underground equipment. The loss of hybrid topology is that the network is not com- pletely hidden as underground topology. Hybrid Topology can also include underground sensors and mobile floor sinks that pass the underground network deployment area and collect data from underground sensors or earth relays. In absence of ground trains, the deepest instruments can calcu- late the way to the nearest available device (able to communicate with the devices above ground and underground), which will store the data until the mobile receiver arrives. This topology should reduce the number of recipient hops to promote the energy savings in the network, because every morning device can work efficiently as a receiver. The loss of this topology is introduced by storing data as long as the mobile user is within that range. For mobile surveillance, mobile receivers have been successfully used in reverse WSNs [3]. Fig. 6. Hybrid Topology 3.9 Antenna Design Choosing the right antenna for the WUSN device is another challenge problem. In particular, the challenges are: Variable Requirements Various devices can be used for different communication purposes, so there may be antenna with different features. For example, devices posted within a few centimeters need to consider the ground-based interface especially due to EM radiation reflectivi- ty. In addition, near- level devices can work as a rail between deep appliances and earth appliances. A deep device that works as a vertical refrigerator path works on the ground antenna that may be horizontally focused and vertically focused. Size In order to get the actual resolution distance of a few meters, frequency in MHz or low-level may require. It is known that antenna should be larger for low frequency, transfer and gain efficiently in this antenna. [19]. For example, in the frequency of 100MHz, quarter wave antenna will measure 0.75 meters. Obviously, this is a chal- lenge for WUSN because we want to maintain compressor equipment compact. Directionality Future research essentially suggests that a set of council antenna or free directional antenna is suitable for best use. Communication challenge with single unidirectional antenna may be because the WUSN topology can be compatible with various differ- ent depth devices, and at the end of a radiation pattern, a commonly used antenna is experienced. This means a vertical directional antenna that will be communicated with the above and lower devices. [19] This problem can be resolved by providing the device with antenna for horizontal and vertical communication. Antenna design ideas vary depending on the physical layer technology used. We are here to focus on elec- tromagnetic waves, but as a discussion in Section 4, it proves that other technologies are more suitable for the environment that it does not prove to be. Environmental Extremes For electronic devices the underground environment is not just the ideal location. Animals, extreme temperature, Water, excavation equipment and insects threaten WUSN equipment and must provide adequate protection. These factors have to be adjusted by power, radios, supply, processors and other components. In addition, the cost and time required for excavation of large equipment will increase therefore the physical size of WUSN equipment should be kept small. Environmental and physical size and capacity problems should be taken to balance the battery technology to adjust the temperature of the deployment during the balance. This device can also be empha- sized on people or things that are moving towards the top, or deep deployment devic- es, which are subject to brain pressure on the above soil. 4 Conclusion Packet size is a key parameter to improve the wireless sensor network performance. Researchers have suggested various methods of the optimization of packet size to improve network performance in terms of latency, throughput and energy efficiency. These methods are divided into different taxonomies, as some provide them for the use of default size of pack or changeable packet size, while other types provide differ- ent packet formats or for the use of the custom framework. Depending on the nature of the WSN, various kinds of WSNs should also be considered when packet size due to changes in specific channel properties explanation. Here, methods of the optimiza- tion of pack size for various types of WSNs are also modified. WSN types of each have different needs such as energy efficiency, low-dependent or maximum- output. We also developed the most advanced packet optimization studies to meet the needs of particular applications specifically to decide the size of packet. Finally, in order to facilitate future research approaches, we address key new research problems in the packet size optimization area. Since some of them provide a set of packages of length or dynamic packet size, others provide different packet settings or custom systems. Packet size optimization systems in terms of WUSNs are investigated. We reviewed the most advanced packet optimization techniques designed Complete the specific requirements of the application to determine the ideal packet size. Lastly, we offer large open research questions for future optimization of the data packet size optimiza- tion area. References 1. Prasad, Poonam.
