Abstract

Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, or relative humidity. Building sensors have been made possible by the recent advances in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The sensor nodes are similar to that of a computer with a processing unit, limited computational power, limited memory, sensors, a communication device and a power source in form of a battery. In a typical application, a WSN is scattered in a region where it is meant to collect data through its sensor nodes. The applications of sensor networks are endless, limited only by the human imagination.
