A Comprehensive Study of Wireless Sensor Network And its Application with IoT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have gained enough popularity within one and a half decades by obtaining viable solutions in multiple domains by proving one of the best technology duos in the Internet of Things ecosystem. Recently, Wireless sensor networks blended with the Internet of Things opening enough proximity to solve critical technological problems. In both IoT and WSN, sensors are the primary hardware of the entire system which demands high sensitivity and selectivity. Typically, these sensors are electronic devices that are equipped with limited battery power sources. So, the utilization of this power source in an economical manner with optimum use is the primary concern of the research and implementation of these technologies. Smart energy-concerned routing schemes are introduced, which play the principal role in achieving energy-efficient wireless communication between the inter-sensor nodes and between nodes to the base station. This paper focuses on the brief study and analysis of the implementation of a WSN-based IoT system in every aspect. This study covers the WSN-based IoT in different aspects and also discusses the Software Defined Network (SDN) and how this software technology works with WSN and IoT and make thing easier to control and helpful to these technologies.
