Abstract
In the last many years there is a quick development in the field of WSN. For affordable wireless communication, hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes and a base station (sink) have built a novel network that is termed a wireless sensor network. Nodes and Base station are located in vast area. This study gives a simple introduction to WSNs architecture, potential topologies and measurement of physical parameters with crossbow tool. Afterward, the study outlines the varieties of WSN and its applications.
