WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS A WSN consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants. The development of wireless sensor networks was motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance. They are now used in many industrial and civilian application areas, including industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control. In addition to one or more sensors, each node in a sensor network is typically equipped with a radio transceiver or other wireless communications device, a small microcontroller, and an energy source, usually a battery. A sensor node might vary in size from that of a shoebox down to the size of a grain of dust, although functioning motes of genuine microscopic dimensions have yet to be created. The cost of sensor nodes is similarly variable, ranging from hundreds of dollars to a few pennies, depending on the size of the sensor network and the complexity required of individual sensor nodes. Size and cost constraints on sensor nodes result in corresponding constraints on resources such as energy, memory, computational speed and bandwidth
Over View of the Discussion This discussion will introduce you to the Wireless Sensor Network Technology. Some of the important hardware constraints are being discussed in brief. A detailed analysis of the applications of WSN in several fields like Vehicle traffic control, Military etc.. is being discussed. The routing protocols of WSN starting with simple flooding to the complex Directed Diffusion are clearly explained. Then the Medium Access Control Protocols for WSN are also discussed in detail. We also give brief introduction to Network Simulator (NS2). Few of the simple simulations are shown and the coding techniques are discussed.
The overall discussion can be summarized as follows:
Introduction to WSN
Topology and Protocol Stack of WSN.
Applications of WSN in different areas.
Routing Protocols for WSN.
Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols.
Introduction to Network Simulator 2 (NS2).
