A Wireless Sensor Network is a network of sensors that, senses specified parameter(s) related to environment; processes data locally or in a distributed manner and wirelessly communicates information to central Base Station. The Base Station analyzes information and initiates suitable response if required. Wireless Sensor Network research as a whole suffers a lack of practical application scenarios for which such networks are the best solution. Researchers generally do not emphasize on the application domains they are trying to address. Therefore they cannot accurately assess the efficiency of their proposal because for different application areas there are different technical issues. This paper discusses role of application in research and fleshes out from the literature applications of sensor networks ranging from billion dollar satellites to tiny RF tags. To aid in application led research we demonstrate that different applications take different directions in the design goals. Based on this observation the sensor network design goals and its various directions are characterized. Such explicit design direction works as a framework for discussing and structuring coordinated research (e.g., scrutinizing mutual dependencies between applications, software, hardware and hence avoiding duplicate work). It also provides a conceptual basis for the development of flexible software and hardware frameworks that can be adapted to meet different application needs.

We describe the design and development of a wireless sensor network for monitoring the microclimate indoors. Such a network is useful for applications such as thermal comfort monitoring and artwork collections management. To simplify the design of the sensor node, we use an ASK transmitter and the ALOHA without retransmission protocol. This greatly simplifies the communication between the sensor node and its base station, aside from minimizing the total cost of the sensor node. We extend the range and reliability of transmissions by implementing error detecting and correcting codes. The sensor nodes are made power efficient by operating on low duty cycles. The optimal sampling rate of the sensor node was determined in order to maximize the battery life. To further minimize the power consumption of the sensor node, a simple threshold-based transmission algorithm was used. A forecast of the sensor node lifetime was made by determining its load profile and characterizing the actual batteries used through experiments. The performance of the sensor network in terms of transmission range and success rates was evaluated. The sensor network was successfully deployed in a museum as a tool in aid of preventive conservation.

“…Therefore we can simulate how efficiently DRMOS lets nodes wake up and sleep according to the sink's movement. 1 For computing energy consumption of nodes, we quote data sheets of the CC2420 [8] and the atmega128 [9]. Energy consumption for a packet transmission and receiving as 17.4mA and 18.8mA, respectively, and for each state of black, gray, and white as 18.8mA, 26.8mA, and 46.8mA respectively.…”

“…Since, the sensor nodes are connected to each other in a wireless ad-hoc manner and powered by batteries, the issue of power management arises. Many research have been conducted to devise an algorithm for extending the lifetime of sensor nodes, however, in real applications [1], the indeterministic lifetime of sensor node is still an ongoing issue. Therefore, by employing mobile sink into a robot, vehicle, or portable device, we can activate reduced number of sensor nodes which are in the region of our interest rather than activating all the sensor nodes in the field.…”

Abstract-Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enable the surveillance and reconnaissance of a particular area with low cost and less manpower. However, the biggest problem against the commercialization of the WSN is the limited lifetime of the battery-operated sensor node. Taking this problem into account, a mobile sink is deployed as a robot, vehicle or portable device to only activate the sensor nodes that are interesting to the sink and leaves other nodes deactivated for. This can considerably extend the lifetime of the sensor nodes compared to existing power management algorithm of using all nodes. However, in this environment, the mobility of the sink raises new issues of energy efficiency and connectivity in communications. To solve these issues, we propose a DRMOS (Dynamic Routing protocol for Mobile Sink) method that includes a designated wake-up-zone to make sensor nodes prepare for an incoming sink. The shape of the wake-up-zone is dynamically changing to reflect the past moving patterns of the sinks. Moreover, we present the extensive simulation results and recommend parameters for practical use of DRMOS from the simulation analysis.
