 Different Sensor Networks
• Fieldbuses and wireless sensor
• Mobile ad hoc networks and networks
wireless sensor networks

6
Mobile ad hoc networks(MANET’s)
• Any network that is setup, for a specific purpose, to meet a quickly
appearing communication need
• Example: a few laptops in a meeting room.
• The two basic challenges in a MANET are
a) the reorganization of the network as nodes move about and
b) handling the problems of the limited reach of wireless communication

 Difference between
MANETs
MANET’sWSNs
APPLICATIONS AND EQUIPMENT The terminal can be fairly powerful (a The equipment can be of less power
laptop or a PDA) with a comparably
large battery
APPLICATION SPECIFIC The diversity, although present, is not WSNs are conceivable with very different
quite as large in MANETs. network densities, from very sparse to
very dense deployments
ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION Well understood traffic always Can have very bursty traffic at times
SCALE WSNs have to scale to much larger
Its fair to assume such identifiers to numbers (thousands or perhaps hundreds
exist in MANET nodes of thousands)hence allocating unique
identifiers becomes overhead and is
avoided

ENERGY Energy is scarce but condition is not as WSNs have tighter requirements on
severe as in WSN network lifetime, and recharging or
replacing WSN node batteries is much less
an option

 Contd…
MANETs
SELF CONFIGURABILITY Are self configurable
DEPENDABILITY AND QOS Each individual node should be
fairly reliable ,MANET are dictated
by traditional applications (low
jitter for voice applications, for
example)
DATA CENTRIC Data-centric protocols are
irrelevant to MANETs –
SIMPLICITY AND RESOURCE Simplicity and resource scarceness
SCARCENESS needs to be fulfilled with new,
scalable, resource-efficient
solutions.
MOBILITY The mobility problem in MANETs is
caused by nodes moving around,
changing multihop routes in the
network that have to be handled
WSNs
Are self configurable
WSNs, entirely new QoS concepts
are required, which also take
energy explicitly into account.
Redundant deployment will make
data-centric protocols attractive in
WSNs
Simplicity and resource scarceness
needs to be fulfilled with new,
scalable, resource-efficient
solutions.
This problem can also exist if the
sensor nodes are mobile in the
given application

Enabling technologies for wireless sensor
networks
Wireless sensor networks has only become possible with some
fundamental advances in enabling technologies
1. Miniaturization of hardware
Reduced chip size and improved energy efficiency is accompanied by
reduced cost, which is necessary to make redundant deployment of nodes
affordable.
2. Processing and communication
3. Sensing equipment
4. Power supply
5. Software
