A Comprehensive Survey on Real-Time Applications of WSN

Abstract

Nowadays, the investigation of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has materialized its functional area ubiquitously such as environmental engineering, industrial and business applications, military, feedstock and habitat, agriculture sector, seismic detection, intelligent buildings, smart grids, and predictive maintenance, etc. Although some challenges still exist in the wireless sensor network, in spite of the shortcoming, it has been gaining significant attention among researchers and technologists due to its versatility and robustness. WSN is subject to a high potential technology that has been successfully implemented and tested in real-time scenarios, as well as deployed practically in various applications. In this paper, we have carried out an extensive survey in real-time applications of wireless sensor network deployment in a practical scenario such as the real-time intelligent monitoring of temperature, criminal activity in borders and surveillance on traffic monitoring, vehicular behavior on roads, water level and pressure, and remote monitoring of patients. The application of the Wireless Sensor Network in the assorted field of research areas has been widely deliberated. WSN is found to be the most effective solution in remote areas which are not yet explored due to its perilous nature and unreachable places. Here, in this study, we have cited the recent and updated research on the ubiquitous usage of WSN in diverse fields in an extensive and comprehensive approach.

CaBIUs: Description of the Enhanced Wireless Campus Testbed of the Ionian University

“…The appropriateness, contribution, and utility of WSNs to a large number and variety of industries has attracted the interest of several members in the scientific community [6][7][8]. In particular, over the past few years, WSN performance has been examined and evaluated on several applications, such as military and agricultural applications [9,10], smart environments [11,12], emergency situations [13,14], environmental monitoring [15,16], and health applications [17,18].…”

Target Tracking Based on Base Station Node Using Prediction Method and Cluster Structure in Wireless Sensor Networks

“…In order to achieve this goal, strategies for designing networks in target tracking should be considered. First of the strategies is instant strategy [13,14]. In this model, all sensor nodes are constantly in active mode to monitor their detection area.…”

IoT for monitoring carbon monoxide (CO) emissions using wireless sensor networks in smart cities

“…A sensor node comprises of a microcontroller, power source, transceiver, external memory and one or more sensors. WSN comprises of sensor node, a client, and an interconnected backbone [7]. Fig.5.…”

“…Presents WSN Network system architecture, comprising of sensor nodes, which are used as a part of monitoring the environment, In WSN, the sensor nodes shares the data with each other and sends the processed information to the sink node. All the nodes send their data to the sink node, which is sent to clients with the help of the internet [7].…”
