The applications of sensor networks are described in the next section, followed by the differences between ad hoc and sensor networks. The major issues and major forms of sensor network architecture ...

Data gathering is one of the most important issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). With traditional data gathering approaches, the sink node receives one data packet from each sensor node in a ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are mainly powered by batteries. Due to limited energy storage capacity of a sensor battery, WSNs can usually remain operational only for a limited amount of time.
