    Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of distributed sensors that monitor conditions like temperature, sound, and pollution. They were originally developed for military surveillance but are now used widely in industrial and civilian applications. A WSN includes sensor nodes that gather data, transceivers that enable communication, and a central unit for processing. Each sensor node contains a microcontroller, transceiver, memory, and sensors. WSNs enable ubiquitous computing but also face challenges of limited power, harsh environments, and security issues that researchers continue working to address.

    What Is Wireless Sensor Network ?

     wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed 


    autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or
    environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound
    , vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants

     The development of wireless sensor networks was motivated


    by military applications such as battlefield surveillance and
    are now used in many industrial and civilian application
    areas, including industrial process monitoring and control,
    machine health monitoring, environment and habitat
    monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and
    traffic control
    The challenges in the hierarchy of: WSN

    detecting the relevant quantities,


    monitoring and collecting the data,
    assessing and evaluating the information,
    formulating meaningful user displays,
    and
    performing decision-making and alarm
    functions are enormous.

    COMPLETE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF WSN

    Consist of three major components

    SENSOR NODE

    TRANSCEIVER

    A CENTRAL UNIT
    SENSOR NODE

    A sensor node, also known as a 'mote‘

    (chiefly in North America), is a node

    in a wireless sensor network that is capable

    of performing some processing, gathering

    sensory information and communication

    with other connected nodes in the network


    Components of a Sensor Node
     Microcontroller

     Transceiver

     Memory

     Ram (random access memory)

     Rom (read only memory )

     Power source

     One or more sensors.


    Advantage
    •  Limited power they can harvest or store
    •  Ability to withstand harsh environmental
    conditions
    •  Ability to cope with node failures
    •  Mobility of nodes
    •  Dynamic network topology
    •  Communication failures
    •  Heterogeneity of nodes
    •  Low cost
    •  Low power
    •  Small size
    Disadvantage
     Short communication distanc

     Its damn easy for hackers to hack it as we cant


    control propagation of waves

     Comparatively low speed of communication

     Gets distracted by various elements like Blue-tooth

     Still Costly at large


    Application
    � Industrial control & monitoring

    � Health care

    � Security & military surveillance

    � Environmental sensing

    � Home automation & consumer electronics

    Conclusion
    • To realize the ubiquitous computing in human life a sensor network may
    be the powerful
    • tool, because they can be deployed at the places where a man can not
    reach.
    • However it is
    • negative sides also because the power of sensor node can not be
    refreshed.To realize the power
    • control and power saving every layer take care of that. At Physical layer
    modulation schemes are
    • chosen according to that. At MAC layer contention free schemes are
    used. At
    • Network layer multihop routing and data centric routing is used. At the
    time when guaranteed delivery is required TCP can also be used.
    • TCP is used in addition to link layer retransmission. Software which is
    used on application layer
    • also should be power aware software.
