Abstract: A WSN include a group of sensing element nodes which are joined to every other via. wireless communication. One of the inconsistent problems in WSN is energy constraint due to deficient battery as their energy. Adeptness of energy exhaustion and elongating network lifespan are challenge. The present review generosities the state of the inclination within the energy management schemes, the outstanding dares and also the open issues for future exploration work. In this study, we present virtual backbone scheduling algorithm for provide a better solution for the minimum energy scheduling problem in wireless sensor network.
