The document discusses wireless sensor networks (WSN) and their applications. It defines a WSN as a collection of sensor nodes that communicate wirelessly and self-organize after deployment. Sensor nodes collect data at regular intervals, convert it to electrical signals, and send it to a base station. The document outlines the components of sensor nodes and describes how WSNs are used for applications like forest fire detection, air/water pollution monitoring, landslide detection, and military surveillance. It also discusses the TinyOS operating system commonly used for WSNs and its features for efficiently utilizing energy in sensor nodes.
Wireless sensor network and its application
- 1. Wireless Sensor Network And Its Application 1 Presented by Roma Vyas
- 2. Outline • Introduction • Sensor Node Components • Wireless Sensor Network • A general work process of WSN • Sensor Networks Operating Systems • Wireless Sensor Networks Applications • Conclusion • References 2
- 3. 3 sensor and Sensor Node • A sensor is a electronic device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. • Sensor Node : Basic unit in Sensor Network
- 5. Wireless sensor Network (WSN) A wireless sensor network is a collection of nodes “sensors” organized into a cooperative network. The nodes communicate wirelessly and often self-organize after being deployed. SSeennssoorr FFiieelldd BBaassee SSttaattiioonn Detection
- 6. 6 A general work process of WSN Deploy Organize into network Sensing and monitoring Data collection and send it to base station
- 7. Goal of the sensor node The goal from the sensor node is to collect the data at regular intervals, then transform the data into an electrical signal and finally send the signal to the sink or the base node.
- 8. Sensor Networks Operating Systems • Sensor Network uses TinyOS. • It is a free open source operating system designed for wireless sensor networks. • It is an embedded operating system written in NesC programming language, developed in 1999. 8
- 9. Need of TinyOS • Problems with traditional OS • Multithreaded Architecture not useful • Large Memory Footprint • Does not help to conserve energy and power • Requirements for Wireless Sensor Networks • Efficient utilization of energy and power • Small Footprint • Should support diversity in design and usage • More emphasis on Concurrent execution 9 TinyOS
- 10. TinyOS Features • Component based architecture allows frequent changes while still keeping the size of code minimum. • Event based execution model means no user/kernel boundary and hence supports high concurrency. • It is power efficient as it makes the sensors sleep as soon as possible. • Has small footprint as it uses a non-preemtable FIFO task scheduling. 10
- 11. Wireless Sensor Networks Applications • Forest fire detection • Air pollution monitoring • Water quality monitoring • Land slide detection • Automotive application • Military application 11
- 12. Forest fire detection • A network of Sensor Nodes can be installed in a forest to detect when a fire has started. • The nodes can be equipped with sensors to measure temperature, humidity and gases which are produced by fire in the trees or vegetation. • If the node detects fire,it sends an alarm message(along with its location) to the base station
- 13. Air pollution monitoring • Traditional air quality monitoring methods, such as building air quality monitoring stations, are typically expensive. • The solution to these is air quality monitoring system based on the technology of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). • Wireless sensor networks have been deployed in several cities to monitor the concentration of dangerous gases for citizens.
- 14. Water quality monitoring • Water quality monitoring involves analyzing water properties in dams, rivers, lakes & oceans, as well as underground water reserves. • Parameters considered include – temperature, turbidity and pH
- 15. Land slide Detection • A landslide detection system makes use of a wireless sensor network to detect the slight movements of soil and changes in various parameters that may occur before or during a landslide. • Through the data gathered it may be possible to know the occurrence of landslides long before it actually happens.
- 16. Military Surveillance 16 • enemy tracking, battlefield surveillance • target detection • Monitoring, tracking and surveillance of borders • Nuclear, biological and chemical attack detection

- 19. 19 Conclusions • WSN are a widely applicable, major emerging technology. • WSN are getting smaller and faster, increasing their potential applications in commercial, industrial, and residential environments. • However, the limit of applications depends only upon the sensors used and the interpretation of the data obtained.
