Abstract
Wireless sensor networks are the networks consisting of large number of small and tiny sensor nodes. The nodes are supplied with limited power, memory and other resources and perform in-network processing. In this paper, various issues are discussed that actually put the limitations in the well working and the life time of the network. In Wireless sensor network, nodes should consume less power, memory and so data aggregation should be performed. Security is another aspect which should be present in the network. Quality of service, routing, medium access schemes all are considered in designing the protocols.

Analysis of the redundancy in coverage of a heterogeneous wireless sensor network

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the redundancy in the coverage of a heterogeneous WSN and defines the redundancy degree of a sensor, and proposes an algorithm to determine the minimum number of sensors required to satisfy the desired coverage ratio and simultaneously minimise the cost of the network.

Towards a perpetual wireless sensor node

TL;DR: It is shown that by default running the time synchronized channel hopping (TSCH) MAC layer draws more power than the harvester is able to provide, and enhancements that improve the power efficiency of TSCH protocol are described and results are presented.
