Routing issue, applicable to all types of networks, is one among the several such key factors. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has not been exception to this. Moreover, such issues are very critical due to severe resource constraints like efficient…
Abstract: Software development for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is challenging due to characteristics of sensor nodes and the environment they are deployed in. Testing software in a real WSN testbed allows users to get reliable test results. However, real testbeds become more expensive as the number of sensor nodes in the network grows. Simulation tools are…
The emerging field of wireless sensor networks combines sensing, computation, and communication executed with tiny devices. Through advanced mesh networking protocols, these devices can form a sea of connectivity that extends the reach of cyberspace out into the physical world. While the capabilities of any single device are minimal, the composition of hundreds…
Ein Wireless-Sensornetzwerk (WSN) besteht aus drei Hauptbestandteilen: Messknoten, Gateways und Software. Die verteilten Messknoten werden an Sensoren angeschlossen und dienen der Erfassung von Umgebungsdaten. Die erfassten Daten werden drahtlos an ein zentrales Gateway übertragen, das eine Verbindung zu drahtgebundenen Geräten herstellt, wo Messdaten gesammelt…

Mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs), the continuous movement of sensor nodes, may cause complete disconnection of the network or at best a part of it. The design of such networks should guarantee that all sensor nodes at all times have a path to the sink node(s). Prolonging the lifetimes of the MWSNs is a crucial design issue but should not be at the expense…
