A Protocol Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks
Overview Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a new class of networking technology that is increasingly becoming popular nowadays. Huge strides taken in sensing technology, low-power microcontrollers and communication radio have spurred the mass production of relatively inexpensive sensor nodes. Such large scale sensor networks far outweigh use of conventional networks in situations where terrain, climate and other environmental constraints hinder the deployment and setting up of regular networks. Because of the tremendous scale at which such nodes can be deployed, they are extremely robust in terms of individual node failures which make them all the more favorable in such extreme situations.
