ABSTRACT

In recent times, it has been witnessed that wireless systems based on IoT-based have developed rapidly in various sectors. The IoT (Internet of Things) is the network in which physical devices, equipment, sensors and other objects can communicate among themselves without human involvement. The WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) is a central component of the IoT, which has proliferated into several different applications in real-time. The IoT and WSNs now have various critical and non-critical applications impacting nearly every area of our everyday life. WSN nodes are usually small and battery-driven machines. WSNs can be considered as the interfaces between the physical and the virtual worlds. WSNs are the one of the most rapidly developing information technologies over the last few years because of their widespread applications. This paper gives an overview on the field of WSN and it focuses on outlining general ideas behind WSNs and the technology being used to implement these ideas.
