Routing protocols are essential for wireless sensor networks to efficiently transmit collected sensor data to data sinks. The document discusses several challenges in designing routing protocols for wireless sensor networks and surveys different routing techniques including flat, hierarchical, and geographic routing. It provides LEACH and PEGASIS as examples of hierarchical routing protocols that use clustering and data aggregation to reduce energy consumption.
This document discusses wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including their types, characteristics, architecture, middleware, standards, applications, challenges and future scope. WSNs consist of spatially distributed autonomous sensors that monitor physical or environmental conditions. They have constraints in terms of cost, size, topology and power. The document outlines the components and software architecture of WSNs, and examines issues like energy efficiency. It also explores common applications in areas like healthcare, pollution monitoring and home automation, along with ongoing challenges in hardware, software and large-scale deployment.
The document discusses wireless sensor networks and their applications. It describes wireless sensor networks as consisting of individual nodes that can interact with their environment by sensing or controlling physical parameters. It then discusses several applications of wireless sensor networks, including disaster relief, environment monitoring, intelligent buildings, facility management, machine maintenance, agriculture, healthcare, and logistics. Finally, it outlines some key requirements and mechanisms needed to implement wireless sensor networks, including communication, energy efficiency, self-configuration, collaboration, data-centric operation, and exploiting tradeoffs between different needs.
The document discusses wireless sensor networks and describes their key characteristics. It notes that wireless sensor networks consist of low-power smart sensor nodes distributed over a large field to enable wireless sensing and data networking. The sensor nodes contain sensors, processors, memory, and radios. Wireless sensor networks can be either unstructured with dense node distribution or structured with few scattered nodes.
Cellular wireless networks use three basic devices: a mobile station, base transceiver, and mobile switching office. The base transceiver includes an antenna and controller. The switching office connects calls between mobile units. Two channel types are available: control channels for call setup/maintenance, and traffic channels that carry voice/data. Cells use low-powered transmitters and each cell has its own antenna and base station. Frequency reuse allows the same frequencies to be used in different cells. As users move between cells, handoffs change their assignment from one base station to another.
This document provides an overview of wireless sensor networks, including their applications in various fields such as military, environment, health, home, and automotive.
