ABSTRACT

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted a great deal of research attention due to their wide range of potential applications. A WSN provides a new class of computer systems and expands people’s ability to interact remotely with the physical world. In a broad sense, WSNs will transform the way people manage their homes, factories, and environment. Applications of WSNs [11] include battlefield surveillance, biological detection, home appliance, smart spaces, and inventory tracking.
