Abstract
In the twenty-first century, wireless sensor communication has achieved great attention throughout the world because of its proliferation in micro electro mechanical systems which are an outsized source of the development in smart sensor technology. It is an emerging technique that has remarkable potential in diversified applications like disaster management, healthcare, agriculture, defense, traffic surveillance, and smart home. In order to design versatile specialized wireless sensor communication structures like cognitive approach and underwater communication, different unavoidable issues and challenges are identified day by day in wireless sensor networks from different perspectives. Extension of the network lifetime, energy consumption, hardware and software cost, system-level architecture, programmability, and limited bandwidth are the vital challenges that are being faced in this field. On the other hand, network coverage area, security threat, reliability, quality of service, and robustness should be taken as the most fundamental issues in wireless sensor communication. In this paper, the specific issues and challenges of wireless sensor communication are highlighted as well as are proposed precise guidelines to handle those issues and challenges. Additionally, we will provide a comparative analysis that will clearly differentiate between the existing work and our research in this field.
