Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Status and Future Trends

Acquiring data from the deployment area of sensors is not always easy, withmultiple issues to be considered in dealing with wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A major issue is the limited resources of the tiny sensor devices, which are run with one-time batteries. Even if rechargeable batteries are used, they are not always easy to replaceonce the sensors have beendeployed. Though many of the issues have been solved, manystill remain. This book presents basic information onWSNs, current and emerging trends inresearch and development, as well as future expectations forrelevant areas.
