Introduction to Wireless Sensor Network - Sharddha Zanjat - Bog

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) constitute a revolutionary paradigm in the realm of information gathering and monitoring. These networks consist of autonomous sensor nodes strategically distributed in space, each equipped with sensors to capture environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, and light. The sensor nodes are not mere data collectors; they house processing units and wireless communication modules, enabling them to analyse data locally and transmit relevant information to a central base station or other nodes within the network. The wireless communication protocols employed, such as Zigbee or Bluetooth, facilitate efficient short-range data transfer, fostering collaboration among nodes. WSNs often adopt various network topologies, including hierarchical cluster-based structures, optimizing the flow of information.
