ABSTRACT
In recent years, the wireless sensor network (WSN) was subjected to challenges associated with energy efficiency and lifetime of network. Those challenges arose due to limited resource constraint, in which individual nodes perform both sensing and traffic monitoring from nearby and sink nodes. On the other hand, energy efficiency increases the node lifetime with provision of required service. To withstand this demand, game theory is considered as effective approach for WSN. This survey discusses the most recent works that used the game theory-based defense method in WSNs to predict tradeoff between required service and improved network lifetime. This research contains complete game taxonomy which is applied to certain research issues. This chapter provides a clear view of the works going on in this research area, pointing out its challenge issues and encouraging discussions and future research guidelines.
