  2. Wireless sensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_sensor_network

    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.

  3. Mobile wireless sensor network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_wireless_sensor_network

    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.

  4. Sensor node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_node

    A wireless sensor node is a popular solution when it is difficult or impossible to run a mains supply to the sensor node. However, since the wireless sensor node is often placed in a hard-to-reach location, changing the battery regularly can be costly and inconvenient. An important aspect in the development of a wireless sensor node is ensuring ...

    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. Wireless network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_network

    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. [ 2 ]

  7. Wireless - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless

    Wireless sensor networks are responsible for sensing noise, interference, and activity in data collection networks. This allows us to detect relevant quantities, monitor and collect data, formulate clear user displays, and to perform decision-making functions [ 31 ]

  8. Low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-energy_adaptive...

    Low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy ("LEACH") [1] is a TDMA-based MAC protocol which is integrated with clustering and a simple routing protocol in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The goal of LEACH is to lower the energy consumption required to create and maintain clusters in order to improve the life time of a wireless sensor network.

  9. List of wireless sensor nodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_sensor_nodes

    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.
