Overview

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS This Chapter briefs the challenges and mechanisms of Wireless Sensor Networks. Various Routing and MAC Protocols related to WSN are analyzed in this Chapter. Some important applications of WSN are also revealed in this Chapter. 1.1 INTRODUCTION A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, etc. and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to the main location. On the other hand, modern networks are bidirectional, also enabling control of sensor activity. The development of wireless sensor networks have been used by military applications, industrial and consumer applications, such as industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, and so on.
