Abstract
The continuous technological upgradations in the RF (radio frequency), processors, nanotechnology, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) domains have fostered the growth of wireless sensor networks (WSN), which in turn allowed to develop a wide range applications based on it, for instance, the technological breakthrough in the semiconductor industry stimulated to produce low-power, low-cost, and small-sized processors with high computational capacities. Speaking in more clear words, the miniaturization of sensing and computing devices enabled the development of tiny, low-cost, and low-power sensors, controllers, and actuators. Basically WSNs consist of a large number of tiny and low-cost sensor nodes that are networked via low-power wireless communication links. These networks allow to closely observe ambient environment of interest at an economical cost much lower than other possible technological solutions. Each sensor node in WSN has sensing, communication, and computation capabilities. By exploiting appropriate advanced mesh networking protocols, these nodes form a sea of connectivity that covers the physical environmental area under observation. In WSN the transmitting node opt out possible communication paths by hopping sensed data of interest from node to node toward its destination. Although the capability of single sensor node is minimal, the composition of hundreds or thousands of such nodes offers very high new technological possibilities for wide variety of applications. The power of WSN lies in the possibility of heavy deployment of large numbers of tiny nodes, which can assemble and configure on their own. Stating in simple words, these nodes have networking capability, which facilitates coordination, cooperation, and collaboration among them to meet the requirements of the underlying application. The WSN can also provide a robust service in hostile or inaccessible environments, wherein human intervention may be too dangerous or almost not possible. This new technology is exciting with unlimited potential for numerous application areas, including environmental, medical, military, transportation, entertainment, crisis management, disaster relief operations, homeland defense, and smart spaces. It is envisioned that in the near future the WSN will be an integral as well as essential aspect of our lives.
