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.
Adaptive Time Slotted Channel Hopping for Wireless Sensor Networks (PDF) Tavakoli, Rasool; Nabi, Majid; Basten, Twan; Goossens, Kees (2015), "Enhanced Time-Slotted Channel Hopping in WSNs Using Non-intrusive Channel-Quality Estimation", 2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems , pp. 217– 225, doi : 10.1109 ...
Some of these technologies include standards such as ANT UWB, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Wireless USB. 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 ...
Wireless sensor network is a new paradigm in designing fault tolerant mission critical systems, to enable varied applications like threat detection, environmental monitoring, traditional sensing and actuation and much more. It is an emerging area of inter-disciplinary research between people in the electrical engineering, computer science, and ...
Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance for Wireless (MACAW) [1] is a slotted medium access control (MAC) protocol widely used in ad hoc networks. [2] Furthermore, it is the foundation of many other MAC protocols used in wireless sensor networks (WSN). [2] The IEEE 802.11 RTS/CTS mechanism is adopted from this protocol.
A sensor node, also known as a mote (chiefly in North America), is a node in a sensor network that is capable of performing some processing [1], gathering sensory information and communicating with other connected nodes in the network. A mote is a node but a node is not always a mote.
A mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN) [1] can simply be defined as a wireless sensor network (WSN) in which the sensor nodes are mobile. MWSNs are a smaller, emerging field of research in contrast to their well-established predecessor.
ANT (originates from Adaptive Network Topology) is a proprietary (but open access) multicast wireless sensor network technology designed and marketed by ANT Wireless (a division of Garmin Canada). [1] It provides personal area networks (PANs), primarily for activity trackers. ANT was introduced by Dynastream Innovations in 2003, followed by the ...
