چکیده
Wireless sensor networks are potentially one of the most important technologies of this century. Advances in hardware development have made available the prospect of low cost, low power, miniature devices for use in remote sensing applications. The combination of these factors has improved the viability of utilizing a sensor network consisting of a large number of intelligent sensors, enabling the collection, processing analysis and dissemination of valuable information gathered in a variety of environments. Typical sensing tasks for such a device could be temperature, light, vibration, sound, radiation, etc. All these components together in a single device form a so-called sensor node. The current state of art about sensor networks is discussed in this article with solutions under their related protocol stack. This paper also points out the open research issues under each layer

Networking together hundreds or thousands of cheap microsensor nodes allows users to accurately monitor a remote environment by intelligently combining the data from the individual nodes. These networks require robust wireless communication protocols that are energy efficient and provide low latency. In this paper, we develop and analyze low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH), a proto...
متن کاملEnergy-scalable algorithms and protocols for wireless microsensor networks
Wireless microsensor networks lend themselves to trade-offs in energy and quality. In these networks, the individual sensor data per se is not necessarily important to the end user. Rather, it is the combined knowledge of all the sensors that describes what is occurring in the environment. By allowing the algorithms and protocols to adapt the quality of this description, with a corresponding ch...
