Wireless Sensor Network Architecture in Distributed Systems

The design of networks made of many small, low-power sensor nodes that sense physical or environmental data and relay it over multi-hop wireless links to a base station or data sink. Covers the node/base-station/management structure, the severe constraints on energy, processing, memory and bandwidth, ad hoc multi-hop routing, and the reliability and topology issues that distinguish WSNs from conventional networks.
