Introduction to Wireless Sensor
Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is wireless
communication, allowing sensors to transmit and
receive information without the limitations of wired
connections. A basic understanding of wireless
communication is critical to designing and optimizing
the performance of wireless sensors.
WSN ARCHITECTURE
There are two types of Wireless Sensor Networks:
•Layered Network Architecture
•Clustered Network Architecture
Firstly we will be going to look at Layered Network Architecture
• Underground WSNs
The underground wireless sensor networks are more expensive than the
terrestrial WSNs in terms of deployment, maintenance, and equipment cost
considerations and careful planning.
• Multimedia WSNs
Multimedia wireless sensor networks have been proposed to enable tracking
and monitoring of events in the form of multimedia, such as imaging, video,
and audio.
• Mobile WSNs
These networks consist of a collection of sensor nodes that can be moved on
their own and can be interacted with the physical environment.
Application of WSN
• Military Applications
• Battlefield Surveillance
• Health Applications
• Environmental Applications
Advantages of WSN
•Low cost
•Wireless communication
•Energy efficiency
•Scalability
•Real-time monitoring:
Conclusion
WSNs have the capacity to be installed everywhere, on the road, underground, underwater,
forests, battlefields, disaster prone area, work area, etc. WSN is one of the demanding needs in
the today’s time due to its ubiquitous nature. In the near future, WSNs can be deployed as
underwater acoustic sensor systems, cognitive sensing and spectrum management, and security
and privacy management.
