  2. Wireless sensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_sensor_network

    Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) refer to networks of spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors that monitor and record the physical conditions of the environment and forward the collected data to a central location. WSNs can measure environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, pollution levels, humidity and wind.

  3. TinyOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyOS

    TinyOS is an embedded, component-based operating system and platform for low-power wireless devices, such as those used in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), smartdust, ubiquitous computing, personal area networks, building automation, and smart meters. It is written in the programming language nesC, as a set of cooperating tasks and processes.

  4. Mobile wireless sensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_wireless_sensor_network

    In order to characterise the requirements of an application, it can be categorised as either constant monitoring, event monitoring, constant mapping or event mapping. [1] Constant type applications are time-based and as such data is generated periodically, whereas event type applications are event drive and so data is only generated when an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_network...

    Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN / WSAN) are, generically, networks of low-power, low-cost devices that interconnect wirelessly to collect, exchange, and sometimes act-on data collected from their physical environments - "sensor networks". Nodes typically connect in a star or mesh topology.

  6. Sensor grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_grid

    The concept of a sensor grid was first defined in the Discovery Net project where a distinction was made between “sensor networks” and “sensor grids”. [1] [2]Briefly whereas the design of a sensor network addresses the logical and physical connectivity of the sensors, the focus of constructing a sensor grid is on the issues relating to the data management, computation management ...

  7. ANT (network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANT_(network)

    ANT was designed for low-bit-rate and low-power sensor networks, in a manner conceptually similar to (but not compatible with) Bluetooth Low Energy. [3] This is in contrast with normal Bluetooth, which was designed for relatively high-bit-rate applications such as streaming sound for low-power headsets.
