Wireless Sensor Network-Unit-2

There are two main types of sensor networks: wired and wireless. Wired sensor networks connect sensors to a central server using Ethernet cables to provide both power and data transmission, while wireless sensor networks remotely monitor events using autonomous sensor nodes that communicate wirelessly. The key characteristics of wireless sensor networks include power consumption constraints, ability to handle node failures, mobility, communication failures, heterogeneity, scalability, environmental resilience, and ease of use. Modeling wireless sensor networks requires simulating factors like battery life, signal range, communication channels, sensor data collection, networking protocols, and energy usage to improve network efficiency and design.

A sensor network is a group of sensors where each sensor monitors data in a different

location and sends that data to a central location for storage, viewing, and analysis.
There are many applications for sensor networks, from monitoring a single home, to
the surveillance of a large city, to earthquake detection for the whole world.
Sensor Network Architecture
WSN or Wireless Sensor Network Architecture finds its application in a variety of places such as schools, hospitals,
buildings, and roads. Its uses extend to disaster management, crisis management, and security management among
others.
Two distinct types of architecture are employed in WSN, namely MSDT_A1 and Clustered Architecture, which are
elucidated in the subsequent sections.
A network architecture that utilizes a combination of multiple sensor nodes and a solitary high-powered base station
is known as layered Network Architecture . These sensor nodes are organized into concentric layers, with a total of
five layers and three cross layers within the architecture.

The Layered Network Architecture offers the benefit of reducing power consumption by enabling each node to
engage in low power transmissions within short distances of neighboring nodes. This results in a more scalable and
fault-tolerant Sensor Network Architecture compared to others.
The Clustered Network Architecture involves Sensor Nodes grouping themselves into autonomous clusters. This
architecture is based on the utilization of clusters, which is facilitated by the Leach Protocol. The Low Energy Adaptive
Clustering Hierarchy is represented by the acronym LEACH and is the foundation for the protocol.
Characteristics of the Leach Protocol:
The architecture follows a clustering hierarchy with two tiers.
The process of arranging the sensor nodes into clusters is carried out using a distributed algorithm.
Each cluster's head nodes are responsible for generating their own schedules ( Time-division multiple access
(TDMA ).
The technology utilizes the principle of Data Fusion, resulting in improved energy efficiency.

Here:
The Clustered Network Architecture is highly advantageous for sensor networks due to its Data Fusion capability. In
this architecture, nodes in each cluster communicate with the cluster head to collect information, which is then
shared among all formed clusters with the base station. The selection of the cluster head and formation of each
cluster is an autonomous and independent distributed process.
An Efficient Secure Routing Method in Wireless Sensor, Some trust-based methods have been proposed for

There two types of sensor networks, wired and wireless. The components of a
sensor network include sensor nodes, sensors, the gateway, and a
management node. The four topologies of sensor networks are point to
point, star, tree, and mesh.
A wired sensor is a device that is connected to the cloud or server using a PoE
(Power over Ethernet) cable that provides both power and data transmission.
This type of sensor requires cabling to be run from the server room to the
sensor location.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consistsing of spatially


distributed autonomous device using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or
environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or
pollutants at different locations. A complete model of a sensor network is needed to
improve upon its efficiency and design.Using a modeling and simulation tool called
Visualsense models of these in this paper will discuss the implementation and creation
of a sensor node in Visualsense.In the Visualsense analyses of a sensor network,
several factors affecting a network are relized such as battery life and signal range of
the device. Modeling of wireless sensor networks requires sophisticated modeling of
communication channels, sensor channels, adhoc networking protocols, localization
strategies, media access control protocols, energy consumption in sensor nodes, etc.
this modeling framework is designed to support a component-based construction of
such models. It is intended to enable the research community to share models of
disjoint aspects of the sensor nets problem and to build models that include
sophisticated elements from several aspects.
