An Elaborative Study on Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) Domains: What the literature says?

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) constitutes a very lively research field. The prospects of WSN applications are highly promising to revolutionize our everyday lives. Several applications comprise landslide detection, glacial monitoring, wildlife tracking, healthcare, military applications, environmental monitoring, and a considerable quantity of applications to robotics, the internet of things. The various Research areas stated in the paper are localization, topology control, dependability, self-calibration, self-healing, data aggregation, group management, clock synchronization, query processing, sensor processing, and fusion under limited capacities, and testing and debugging. The reflected Research key areas are underlined in the form of challenges and that focus on the further and future Research guidelines of the researcher endeavoring research in WSNs and its allied domain.
