Arising Issues In Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Proposals And Future Developments

Abstract

Sensor Networks have been heralded as one of 21 most enabling technologies for 21st century by Business Week. In recent times wireless sensor networks have received significant attention from researchers due to its unlimited potential. However despite all this effort at providing improved services in these areas, issues still remain unsolved and many more have arised based on the proffered solutions. This paper is focused on presenting to the reader arising issues in wireless sensor networks. We have concentrated on grouping issues in Wireless sensor network into three broad groups namely; the technical issues, the design issues, the system issues, the communication protocol issues, topology issues, key management issues, other wsn issues and recent and research issues. By solving these issues, we can close the wide gap between Wireless Sensor Network Technology invention and its deployment on the field
