Introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks

Introduction

Wireless Sensor Networks are networks that consists of sensors which are distributed in an ad hoc manner.
These sensors work with each other to sense some physical phenomenon and then the information gathered is processed to get relevant results.
Wireless sensor networks consists of protocols and algorithms with self-organizing capabilities.

Comparison with ad hoc networks

Wireless sensor networks mainly use broadcast communication while ad hoc networks use point-to-point communication.
Unlike ad hoc networks wireless sensor networks are limited by sensors limited power, energy and computational capability.
Sensor nodes may not have global ID because of the large amount of overhead and large number of sensors.

Applications of Wireless Sensor networks

The applications can be divided in three categories:
Monitoring of objects.
Monitoring of an area.
Monitoring of both area and objects.
