Shweta Sinha; Priyanka Makkar    Amity University, Haryana, India

Abstract

Technological advancements have led to the coupling of small, low-cost sensing devices having computing capability supported by storage and communicational abilities to form wireless sensor networks (WSN). This chapter propounds an extensive and organized introduction to the fundamental concepts directed by the inherent characteristics of sensor nodes. It covers the communication principles of WSN, traffic patterns, and the data delivery models leading to recent research trends. Energy-efficient deployment of nodes is the foremost concern in the establishment of WSN. Node clustering and identification ...
