A STATE OF THE ART REVIEW ON WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH ITS APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks are considered to be among the most rapidly evolving technological domains thanks to the numerous benefits that their usage provides. As a consequence, Wireless Sensor Networks have had a continuously increasing variety of applications from their first introduction until the present day. The goal of this paper is to provide an up-to-date presentation of both traditional and most recent Wireless Sensor Networks applications and, hopefully, not only to encourage the understanding of this scientific field, but also to promote the perception of new applications. The key categories of Wireless Sensor Networks applications are defined in order to achieve this objective and characteristic examples of them are studied. Their basic features are clarified, while their pros and cons are denoted. First, there is a discussion of the variables that are relevant to each of these particular categories. Finally, the final comments are drawn.
