An Overview on Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are becoming very attractive for both telecommunication and network industry. These sensors can influence the understanding of the physical world around us by transmitting signals by sensing the physical around the field of influence of such devices. Such devices can then transmit electrical signals from sensor to sensor through the network until the signal reaches the sink stage. This survey explores the design issues, network services and mechanisms in this field. It provides an understanding for WSN technology. Keywords.
