Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a popular area of study, with applications in recent trends such as environmental monitoring, smart agriculture and military surveillance. The Internet of Things is a type of large-scale system where the sensors use the wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring and act cooperatively by collecting the data, processing it and forwarding information to the base station. Although WSN has numerous advantages, it also faces some challenges, including energy limitations, scalability, routing efficiency and security. Design challenges in wireless sensor networks: a top-down perspective Routing protocols in wireless sensor networks: a survey, Emerging applications of WSNs. The paper partitions three types of routing protocols according to three mechanisms for partitioning and summarize the performance characteristics for each category. In addition to that, the recent ones include AI-injected clustering and energy-proficient routing mechanisms. It also explores new applications of WSN technology.
