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.

An energy efficient and optimal randomized clustering for wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: An energy efficient and optimal randomized clustering protocol for self-organizing WSNs by employing a new approach for setting threshold value, including the probability of optimum number of cluster-heads and residual energy of the nodes.

Protecting bridges: Reorganizing sensor networks after catastrophic events

TL;DR: The worst case scenario for the life cycle of a sensor network is the fragmentation of a network which still has many functional and well-powered nodes, but the loss of connectivity renders even the functional nodes useless as the nodes are not able to transmit their observations to the sink.

A Geometric Transversals Approach to Analyzing the Probability of Track Detection for Maneuvering Targets

TL;DR: A geometric transversals approach for representing the probability of track detection by multiple, distributed sensors, as a function of the Markov model transition probabilities, and results show that the optimal sensor placements obtained by this geometric transVersals approach significantly outperform greedy, grid, or randomized sensor deployments.

Node Deployment with k-Connectivity in Sensor Networks for Crop Information Full Coverage Monitoring

TL;DR: A new WSN deployment method using a genetic algorithm (GA) is here proposed, which showed that both WSNs gave full coverage, there were no communication silos, and the minimum connectivity of nodes was equal to k.
