Introduction
A sensor network is composed of a large number of sensor nodes, which are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it.
Random deployment
Cooperative capabilities
Home and other commercial applications
Home automation and Smart environment
Interactive museums
Managing inventory control
Vehicle tracking and detection
Detecting and monitoring car thefts
Production costs
The cost of a single node is very important to justify the overall cost of the networks.
The cost of a sensor node is a very challenging issue given the amount of functionalities with a price of much less than a dollar.
Conclusion
Applications of sensor networks
Factors influencing sensor network design
Communication architecture of sensor networks
