Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks of co-operating, small, low-cost micro-processors are finding application in a variety of areas including precision agriculture, defense, manufacturing, and research. These sensor nodes work under severe resource constraints such as limited computing power, memory, wireless bandwidth, and battery power. Therefore, every activity in wireless sensor networks must be run efficiently without consuming too many resources. The project aims to develop a network management protocol for wireless sensor networks and use it to maintain the effectiveness of a wireless sensor network so that the network operates at optimal performance levels.
