Sensor Network
A sensor network consists of multiple detection stations called sensor nodes, each of which is small, lightweight and portable. Every sensor node is equipped with a

transducer, microcomputer, transceiver and power source.

The transducer generates electrical signals based on sensed physical effects and phenomena. The microcomputer processes and stores the sensor output. The transceiver receives commands from a central computer and transmits data to that computer. The power for each sensor node is derived from the electric utility or from a battery.

Existing System

Sensor network is given with one special sensor identified as the sink and many normal

sensors, each of which generates data from its environment. Users specify the data they need by submitting queries to the sink.

This existing system requires each sensor to send its readings back to the sink immediately every time it generates new data. Generally, transferring all raw data could be very costly and is not always necessary.

Drawbacks of Existing system

The data communication from the sensors to the sink may take long routes consuming much energy. The sensors around the sink are generally highly used and exhausted easily.

Project Objective
Placing the Storage nodes in sensor works to minimize the total energy cost by gathering data to the storage nodes and replying queries in sensor networks.

Storage Nodes in Sensor Networks

Forwarding Nodes(Sensors)
 Forwarding nodes are regular sensors and
they always forward the data received from other nodes or generated by themselves through a path toward the sink.

Storage Nodes
 storage nodes are allowed to hold data. The
sink diffuses queries to the storage nodes by broadcasting to the sensor network and these storage sensors reply to the queries by sending the processed data back.

Implementation
We first deploy regular sensors and construct a communication tree. We select some of the regular sensors to be storage nodes. We can attach large flash memory to these selected sensors or replace them by more powerful storage nodes.

Conclusion

This system considers the storage node placement problem in a sensor network. Introducing storage nodes into the sensor network to minimize the communication burden of sending all the raw data to sink.

 We place the storage nodes to save energy for

data collection and data query.
