Communication Network
• A communication network is composed of
nodes, each of which has
computing power
transmit and receive messages over
communication links, wireless or cabled.
Basic Network TopologiesStar Topology Ring Topology
Bus Topology Tree Topology
Fully Connected Networks Mesh Networks
Mesh nets can be good models for large-scale
networks of wireless sensors that are
distributed over a geographic region.
Each node consists of
Wireless Sensor Networks are networks that consists of
sensors which are distributed in an ad hoc manner.
These sensors work with each other to sense some physical
phenomenon and then the information gathered is processed to
get relevant results.
WSN
Basic Structure
A single network may consist of several
interconnected subnets of different
topologies.
A WSN is a wireless network consisting of
spatially distributed autonomous devices
using sensors to cooperatively monitor
physical or environmental conditions, such
as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure,
motion or pollutants, at different locations.

field
The flowing of data ends at special nodes
called base stations (sometimes referred to
as sinks).
A base station links the sensor network to
another network (like a gateway) to
disseminate the data sensed for further
processing.
Base stations have enhanced capabilities
over simple sensor nodes since they must do
complex data processing.
Base stations have
• workstation/laptop class processors,
• enough memory,
• energy, storage
• computational power

Applications of WSN
Military
Military uses sensor networks for battlefield surveillance; sensors could
monitor vehicular traffic, track the position of the enemy.
.
Smart Home / Smart Office
Sensors controlling
appliances and electrical
devices in the house.
Better lighting and heating in
office buildings.
The Pentagon building has
used sensors extensively
Traffic Management & Monitoring
Future cars could use wireless sensors to:
Handle Accidents
Handle Thefts
Sensors embedded in the roads to:
–Monitor traffic flows
–Provide real-time route updates
Biomedical / Medical
• Health Monitors
– Glucose
– Heart rate
– Cancer detection
• Chronic Diseases
– Artificial retina
– Cochlear implants
• Hospital Sensors
– Monitor vital signs
– Record anomalies
Industrial & Commercial
Numerous industrial and
Commercial applications:-Agricultural Crop Conditions
-Inventory Tracking
-In-Process Parts Tracking
-Automated Problem Reporting
-RFID – Theft Deterrent and
Customer Tracing
-Plant Equipment Maintenance
Monitoring
