This paper presents the design of a wireless flood sensor to detect the presence of water on home floors, providing early warning of water leaks. A wireless sensor network has been deployed to gather the measurements from the sensor nodes. A control central coordinates the network and processes the data. Users can remotely inquire for the presence of water, status of the batteries for a specific node, the type of liquid and information about its functionality and alarms, thanks to a proprietary software application. The alerts are also communicated to the user within the home through an audible siren. The designed device is optimized in terms of costs, ease of deployment and maintenance, thus making it widely acceptable to end users.

The emergence of sensor networks as one of the dominant technology trends in the coming decades has posed numerous unique challenges on their security to researchers. These networks are likely to be composed of thousands of tiny sensor nodes, which are low-cost devices equipped with limited memory, processing, radio, and in many cases, without access to renewable energy resources. While the set of challenges in sensor networks are diverse, we focus on security of Wireless Sensor Network in this paper. First, we propose some of the security goal for Wireless Sensor Network. To perform any task in WSN, the goal is to ensure the best possible utilization of sensor resources so that the network could be kept functional as long as possible. In contrast to this crucial objective of sensor network management, a Denial of Service (DoS) attack targets to degrade the efficient use of network resources and disrupts the essential services in the network. DoS attack could be considered as one of th

<p class="Default">This paper proposes a novel industrial wireless sensor network for industrial machine condition monitoring. To avoid unexpected equipment failures and obtain higher accuracy in diagnostic and prognostic for the health condition of a motor, efficient and comprehensive data collecting, monitoring, and control play an important role to improve the system more reliable and effective. A novel wireless data collection for health monitoring system of electric machine based on wireless sensor network is proposed and developed in this paper. The unique characteristics of ZigBee networks such as low power, low cost, and high flexibility make them ideal for this application. The proposed system consists of wireless sensor nodes which are organized into a monitoring network by ZigBee protocols. A base station and wireless nodes have been developed to form a prototype system. Various sensors have the capability to monitor physiological as well as environmental conditions. Therefore proposed system provides a flexible solution that makes our living spaces more intelligent.</p>

ZigBee technology is widely used in wireless sensor networks with the advantages of low power, low cost, convenient networking, etc. Design of ZigBee-based wireless sensor network nodes have become a demand. The nodes are generally placed in some occasions where the power supply inconvenient and require battery-powered, so the low-power of the nodes is an important indicator. The node chose CC2530 as the hardware core and transplanted Z-Stack protocol stack. It collected different data through different sensors and used ZigBee technology for wireless communication. This article describes the process of node hardware design, and reduces the power consumption of the node with choosing low-power devices, reducing the operating frequency and other methods. Low-power node saves the cost and increases the life of the nodes and the network. So it is good for increasing the continuity and stability of the network.

This paper presents a low cost Wireless Sensor Network using TCP/IP to use Ethernet configuration and hybrid networks to extend range or improve connectivity in distant areas, in particular is agriculture. The system is designed with soil moisture sensor based on Atmega8L and Nordic nRF24L01 to monitor environmental parameter. Moreover, to make data available globally, we have connected the wireless sensor network to GSM/GPRS. The system not only uses a low power but also has a compact size and applies advantages of TCP/IP

This paper presents the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) based on low-power wide area network technology for high-tech agriculture. This WSN allows the farmer to collect data such as air temperature, air humidity, soil moisture. The WSN system consists of components: 02 wireless sensor nodes, 01 gateway, 01 cloud server and smartphone app. This WSN tested for data transmission in two zones: zone 1 (dense urban environments) at a distance of 500m and zone 2 (urban environments - less obstacles) at a distance of 1,500m and 1,700m. The data collected at different times of the day and updated every 15 minutes. The results show that the wireless sensor network system operates stably, data constantly updated to LoRa Server and there was not data packet loss. The power consumption of sensor node and gateway determined in three operating modes: transmitting, receiving, turn-off. This shows the advantages of LoRa technology in the development of wireless sensor network which is the distance of data transmission distance and low power consumption. Besides this WSN also tested in the net house of aquaponics of the Research Center for High-tech Application in Agriculture (RCHAA), University of Science, Vietnam National University-HCM. The results show that the WSN system is working reliably and promising which brings significantly benefits to smart agriculture as aquaponics, clean vegetable farms, aquaculture farms…

Energy utilization is an important aspect in any Wireless Sensor Network .The data transmission from various components connected over real-time networks consumes more energy in Wireless Sensor Network. Mainly the task of any network engineer lies in performing an energy efficient, so to reserve the nonrenewable energy supply to sensor nodes. The research convey out effective utilization of energy in wireless sensor networks. It is important to comprise long-term and low-cost monitoring in different WSN application. The network algorithms separated mainly in two parts, first to generate multiple paths and second to switch paths from generated list of paths .Which is implemented as multi-hop-communication so that the battery life of the sensor node may live for long term and low cost of monitoring, which achieve the high lifetime of WSN.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging area in past few decades. Through the integration of low cost sensor nodes with Internet of Things (IoT), lots of applications are common now these days. Each application senses and transmits the fused data to the sink. This wireless data transmission is called routing and is the main governing factor for the span of the sensor network. This paper analyzes and presents different variety of routing techniques based on connectivity structure of the sensors. The type of application for which sensor nodes are used governs selection of a routing technique.

Wireless Sensor Network consists of large number of autonomous, small, low cost sensor nodes that are spatially distributed in areas of investigation like disaster management, Military, environmental monitoring etc. The main purpose of using those nodes is to collect information from source and process it in destination. But the data received in the destination are useless unless the exact location of source is not known. The task of finding physical coordinates of these sensor nodes in WSNs area is known as localization. One solution for the above problem is manual configuration of sensor but it is unfeasible if the area of deployment is large or inaccessible. Therefore, we use localization techniques which help to capture the location of nodes in wireless sensor network. This study analyses localization algorithms with their pros and cons.
