The application and issuse of linear wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of sensor nodes that have low power and limited transmission range and can be used in various scenario. The nodes can be deployed in the long and narrow region, such as road, bridge, tunnel and pipeline, to get some interesting information. The linear topology of these network application is different other application and have special feature, such as multi-hop, long delay, long distance and low reliability. This paper introduces the concept of linear wireless sensor networks and discusses the classification of topology and key issue of this network. The application of the linear wireless sensor network, such as road, bridge, tunnel and pipeline is presented. The research challenges are discussed at last in this paper.
