Wireless Sensor Networks: Technologies and Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as a key technology in various fields due to their ability to monitor and collect data in real-time. This paper provides a comprehensive review of WSNs, covering their fundamentals, technologies, applications, challenges, and future trends. The paper begins with an introduction to WSNs, discussing their basic architecture and components, communication protocols, and network topologies. It then explores the various applications of WSNs, including environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and smart agriculture, highlighting their importance and relevance in each field. The paper also addresses the challenges faced by WSNs, such as security, energy efficiency, and integration with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and discusses future trends and advancements in the field. Overall, this paper aims to provide a thorough understanding of WSNs and their potential impact on society.
