WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS


SUBJECT CODE: 3710511
M.E. 1st SEMESTER

Type of course: Programme Elective-I

Prerequisite: Wireless Communication, Data Communication and Networking

Rationale: Now a day, wireless sensor networks are used in many applications like habitat monitoring or in
areas where human interventions is hazardous. Wireless sensor network is an emerging area which utilizes
network of sensor nodes which are tiny in size and battery operated. They required to be used very power
efficiently so that network lifetime is optimized and provide reliable communication to the base station. By
learning this subject the students will appreciate the recent trends of wireless sensor networks, their design
constraints and challenges.
