1.1 Introduction

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [1] are wireless networks that configure themselves and are used to observe environmental or physical circumstances, such as pollutants, motion, vibration, pressure, temperature, sound, etc. Through the network, the data is returned to a principal position. The data is observed and analyzed at this station. The station behaves as an interface between the network and its users. The essential information can be retrieved from the station by raising queries and consolidating and assembling the required results. Usually, a WSN comprises a sizable number of sensor nodes, sometimes as high as hundreds of thousands of nodes. The mode of communication between the sensor nodes is typically ...
