Excerpt from the Book
1.1 Wireless Sensor Networks
The concept of wireless sensor networks is based on a simple equation: Sensing + CPU + Radio = Thousands of potential applications. As soon as people understand the capabilities of a wireless sensor network, hundreds of applications springs to mind. It seems like a straightforward combination of modern technology. However, actually combining sensors, radios, and CPU’s into an effective wireless sensor network requires a detailed understanding of the both capabilities and limitations of each of the underlying hardware components, as well as a detailed understanding of modern networking technologies and distributed systems theory. Each individual node must be designed to provide the set of primitive’s necessaries to synthesize the interconnected web that will emerge as they are deployed, while meeting strict requirements of size, cost and power consumption. A core challenge is to map the overall system requirements down to individual device capabilities, requirements and actions. To make the wireless sensor network vision a reality, architecture must be developed that synthesizes the envisioned applications out of the underlying hardware capabilities.
