sensornetworks
Sensor networks, also known as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), are systems composed of spatially distributed autonomous devices, referred to as sensor nodes, that use sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. These nodes collect data about phenomena such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion, or pollutants at various locations. The collected data is then typically forwarded through the network to a main location or base station for processing and analysis.
Each sensor node is usually equipped with a microcontroller, a radio transceiver for communication, a power
Applications of sensor networks are diverse and include environmental monitoring, such as tracking climate change or
