Wireless sensor networks have been used to monitor various species and habitats, beginning with the Great Duck Island Deployment, including marmots, cane toads in Australia and zebras in Kenya. Environmental/Earth sensing
A mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN) [1] can simply be defined as a wireless sensor network (WSN) in which the sensor nodes are mobile. MWSNs are a smaller ...
A typical multi-hop wireless sensor network architecture A wireless mesh network architecture allowing otherwise out-of-range nodes 1–4 to still connect to the Internet. A key characteristic is the presence of multiple-hop links and using intermediate nodes to relay packets for others.
Wireless sensor network is a new paradigm in designing fault tolerant mission critical systems, to enable varied applications like threat detection, environmental monitoring, traditional sensing and actuation and much more. It is an emerging area of inter-disciplinary research between people in the electrical engineering, computer science, and ...
A sensor node, also known as a mote (chiefly in North America), is a node in a sensor network that is capable of performing some processing [1], gathering sensory information and communicating with other connected nodes in the network. A mote is a node but a node is not always a mote.
Energy cost is a major limitation for WSN requiring the need for energy efficient networks and processing. One of major energy costs in WSN is the energy spent on communication between nodes and it is sometimes desirable to only send data to a gateway node when an event of interest is triggered at a sensor. Sensors will then only open ...
WirelessHART within telecommunications and computing, is a wireless sensor networking technology. It is based on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol (HART). Developed as a multi-vendor, interoperable wireless standard, WirelessHART was defined for the requirements of process field device networks.
The concept of a sensor grid was first defined in the Discovery Net project where a distinction was made between “sensor networks” and “sensor grids”. [1] [2]Briefly whereas the design of a sensor network addresses the logical and physical connectivity of the sensors, the focus of constructing a sensor grid is on the issues relating to the data management, computation management ...
