Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) exhibit promising development prospects in both economic and technical levels because of their ability to provide a variety of services such as search-and-rescue operations, logistics, vehicle routing and intruder detection. The services provided by WSNs are based on collaboration among small energy-constrained sensor nodes. Due to the large-scale application of WSNs, the demand for organization strategies of sensor nodes are increasingly urgent. Research on WSNs have focused on several research topics and emerged as an important new area in wireless technology. This chapter covers the network characteristics, origin and development, architecture and applications of WSNs.
