Wireless sensor networks are composed of low-energy, small-size, and low-range unattended sensor nodes. Recently, it has been observed that by periodically turning on and off the sensing and communication capabilities of sensor nodes, we can significantly reduce the active time and thus prolong network lifetime.
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 ...
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 ...
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.
A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. [1] Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks , and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations.

WSN or Wireless sensor network, are spatially distributed autonomous sensors that monitor physical or environmental conditions and pass their data through the network to a main location. WSN may also refer to: WSN Environmental Solutions, an Australian waste disposal company; South Naknek Airport, Alaska (IATA airport code)
Energy cost is a major limitation for WSN requiring the need for energy efficient networks and processing. One of major energy costs in WSN is the energy spent on communication between nodes and it is sometimes desirable to only send data to a gateway node when an event of interest is triggered at a sensor. Sensors will then only open ...
