Introduction :
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected devices that exchange
data and perform tasks without direct human intervention.
WSN plays a pivotal role in enabling the functionality of IoT by providing the data collection
and transmission infrastructure. It forms the foundation for real-time data acquisition,
which fuels IoT applications across various domains.
The fusion of WSN with IoT has revolutionized industries and everyday life. It facilitates
efficient data monitoring, analysis, and decision-making, creating a smarter, more
interconnected world.
Key Components :
Essential Components:
Sensors: Gather environmental data (e.g., temperature).
Nodes: Process and relay data within the network.
Gateways: Connect network to larger systems.

Highlevel Architecture :
Sensor Layer: This is where physical sensors are deployed to collect data from the
environment. These sensors could measure various parameters such as temperature,
humidity, light, and more.
Wireless Communication: The data collected by sensors is transmitted using wireless
communication protocols such as Zigbee, Bluetooth, or LoRaWAN. This layer ensures
that the data is relayed to the network for further processing.
Network Layer: In this layer, the collected data is routed through a mesh network of
sensor nodes. These nodes communicate with each other and form a network that
enables data propagation.
Gateway: The gateway acts as a bridge between the wireless sensor network and the
cloud. It aggregates data from multiple sensor nodes and forwards it to the cloud for
processing and analysis.
Cloud Services: The cloud-based applications receive the data from the gateway. Here,
the data is stored, processed, and analyzed using various tools and algorithms. Cloud
services provide scalability, storage, and computational power required for data-
intensive IoT applications.
Security risks:
Introduction to Security Risks: Explain that while Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
enable powerful IoT applications, they also introduce several security challenges due to
their distributed and resource-constrained nature.
Data Interception: Discuss the risk of unauthorized data interception during
transmission. Highlight the importance of securing data as it travels through the
network.
Data Tampering: Explain the possibility of malicious actors altering sensor data, which
can lead to incorrect decisions and actions in IoT applications.
Device Spoofing: Describe how attackers can impersonate legitimate devices, gaining
unauthorized access to the network and potentially compromising its integrity.
Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Discuss the risk of attackers overwhelming the network
with excessive traffic, rendering it unavailable for legitimate users.
Privacy Concerns: Mention that the constant data collection in WSN can lead to privacy
breaches if not handled properly, especially in applications involving personal or
sensitive data
Real-world applications:
Environmental Monitoring: WSN sensors track air and water quality, ensuring healthier
surroundings.
Agricultural Precision: WSN monitors soil, temperature, and crops for higher
agricultural yields.
Industrial Automation: WSN aids in predictive maintenance, equipment monitoring, and
process optimization.
Healthcare Enhancement: Wearable WSN devices enable patient monitoring and remote
health tracking.
Traffic Management: WSN optimizes traffic flow, detects congestion, and enhances
transportation systems.
Home Automation: WSN-based smart devices control appliances, energy, and security
systems.
Disaster Management: WSN detects natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and fires.
Wearable Technology: WSN-enabled wearables include fitness trackers and augmented
reality devices.
Environmental Impact:
Battery Disposal: Batteries in WSN devices impact the environment when improperly
disposed.
