Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are used in variety of fields which includes military, healthcare, environmental, biological, home and other commercial applications. With the huge advancement in the field of embedded computer and sensor technology, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), which is composed of several thousands of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing, actuating, and relaying the collected information, have made remarkable impact everywhere. This paper presents an overview of the various research issues in WSN based applications.

To deploy Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the railway transport, knowledge of signal propagation in this environment is required for the safety and the reliability of whole system. This calls to two domains of research. Firstly, the study of the propagation characteristics is necessary to predict the propagation law that rules attenuation of the signal in the train environment along with the multipath characteristics. Secondly, the effects of external disturbance and interferences onto wireless signal must also be investigated.In this paper, we present first-ever measurements (to our knowledge) of propagation channel along railway track for WSNs. Extensive real hardware measurements of RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indication are presented and compared to the theoretical models, to investigate the IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee propagation channel characteristics. Results of extensive measurement campaigns that validate Log-normal and shadowing path-loss model with accurate loss parameters at 2.4 GHz in outdoor environments are presented. A comparison of this model and extensive real hardware measurement in two selected scenarios is discussed.

“…Motes use low power micro-controllers and are equipped with broadcast-enabled radios which enables formation of multi hop mesh networks. WSNs are usually used in large-scale, low data rate applications that requires monitoring over long periods of time, such as environmental monitoring, defense and industrial monitoring [1,2]. For dynamic and mobile applications, such as sports monitoring, a personal area network (PAN) with additional sensor nodes (PASN) is a more suitable solution.…”

This paper presents experimental results of a heterogeneous sensor network architecture, which is a combination of a wireless sensor network and a personal area network. The proposed architecture uses the IEEE 802.15.4 standard to transmit sensor data to a sensor node which in turn forwards the data using TCP/IP to a database on the Internet via a Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone and the mobile telephone access network. The performance of the entire communication chain is evaluated. First, a 3G network's performance is evaluated by measuring its round trip time for packet transmission. Second, the real-world end-to-end delay between a sensor node and a database server on the Internet is measured using two different experimental set-ups: single-hop transmission and two hops transmission. Finally, the proposed architecture's scalability is estimated in a Matlab simulation using the results of the experiments as a base. The results show that the proposed architecture is applicable for small-scale sensor networks used by highly mobile users
