WSNs
• A WSN is made up of multiple stations meant for
detection, called sensor nodes.
• Every sensor node is made up of mechanical parts
known as a transducer, a microcomputer, a
transceiver and a source of power.
• The most important aspect of WSN applications is
its lifetime which is primarily constrained and
limited by the amount of energy consumed by the
sensors, which are driven by unrechargeable
batteries also hard to replace due to deployment
in hostile environments.
• Once the nodes begin to exhaust their energies
(become dead), the tolerance of the network goes
on decreasing, until such a time when it can no
longer be operational.
• The period of time from the beginning of network
operation till the first node dies may be referred to
as the stability period
Aim of Project
• An endeavour to study a protocol that may
increase this stability period of a WSN as one of
the aims of increasing the efficiency and lifetime of
the network to improve WSN’s commercial
viability.
• The project will study the effect of a protocol
named Stable Election Protocol (SEP) and try to
make some small, innovative changes to improve
this stability period.
