Abstract:
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) a large
number of wirelessly-connected sensor motes work in
collaboration to achieve a common goal such as detection of
earthquakes, tracking animal movement, monitoring
infrastructure or a volcano, and process control. Among the
deployed WSNs, environmental sensing is important as a
considerable number of the WSN applications have been
developed on environmental sensing. The collected
environment sensor data such as humidity, temperature, and
air quality and soil moisture can be analyzed for better
decision making. Moreover, actuator systems can be operated
based on the sensor data. This paper presents a survey of
already deployed WSNs for environmental sensing, comparing
their scale of deployment, topologies and architectures, and
routing protocols.
