A. INTRODUCTION

Institute For Engineering Research and Publication (IFERP) is one of the

world's largest non-profitable professional associations operating under Techno arete

Research and Development Association (TRADA) meant for research and

development in the field of Engineering, Science & Technology. IFERP is a paramount

body which has brought technical revolution and sustainable development in the field

of Engineering, science and technology. The Institute (IFERP) conducts technical

conferences, seminars and workshop at different parts of country to reduce the gap

between curriculum and their practical implementation among students and research

scholars. Recently, WSNs are increasingly being used to monitor and observe various

sensitive and vital activities. There may be several heterogeneous WSNs, resulting in

a significant wait time for delay sensitive data. Inaccessible terrain is where wireless

sensors are typically installed. As a result, the WS nodes' self-organizing abilities and

longevity are critical.

B. KNOWLEDGE / LEARNING ACQUIRED

In this webinar I got the idea that wireless sensor networks (WSNs) rely on

event-driven communication. Wireless sensor (WS) nodes generate bursty traffic

whenever an event occurs. The requirements to realize WSN are wireless

communication system, sensors, networking and system integrations. I also

learned that high bandwidth demand, high energy consumption, quality of service

(QoS) provisioning, data processing and compression techniques, and cross-layer

design are all challenges in such WSNs. The physical setting mobile nodes can

sense, compute, and communicate in the same way as static nodes can.

C. OBSERVATION

I believed that one of the prospective domains where cognitive

approaches can be employed for opportunistic spectrum access is a cognitive

radio wireless sensor network. This field of study is still in its infancy, but it is fast

developing. The goal of this webinar is to classify the available literature in this

rapidly developing application area of cognitive radio wireless sensor networks,

to highlight relevant research that has already been done, and to identify open

difficulties. WSNs are made up of hundreds of WS nodes that are scattered over

the sensor field, with the distance between them being limited to a few meters.

The data from the WS nodes is collected by a sink node or base station in a

single or multiple-hop way. The acquired data is subsequently sent to the users

via a gateway, which is typically the internet or another communication route.

D. RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTION

In my opinion even in other countries, modern technology is the most

applicable in today's lives. Wireless sensor networks, rather than traditional

networks, are the most efficient. It's scalable, so any new nodes or devices can

be added at any moment. It's adaptable, so physical partitions aren't a problem.

Through a centralized monitoring system, all WSN nodes can be accessible. It

does not require wires or cords because it is wireless. In this modern world

wireless sensor networks are the most applicable.
