Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network with large number of tiny sensor devices which are of low cost, and minimum consumption of power called as sensor nodes. These type of nodes have great sensing technology which are specifically designed for applications such as military, smart homes and other security related areas. Due its wireless nature, network can be deployed anywhere in the environment,...
Internet of Things (IoT) is extension of current internet to provide communication, connection, and inter-networking between various devices or physical objects also known as “Things.” In this paper we have reported an effective use of IoT for Environmental Condition Monitoring and Controlling in Homes. We also provide fault detection and correction in any devices connected to this system automatically...
Pollution detection and monitoring is very crucial task in todays world. To create better and safer environment for human being, animals, plants we need to monitor and control the pollution.

The sensor grid is used to detect the sensor values from different gas sensors. Microcontroller...
Wireless Sensor Network is fabricated by the deployment of many miniature devices (sensors) which are capable of sensing, communicating and computing. These networks are susceptible to security threats due to unattended deployment of sensors. There are many attacks on information in transit, out of all Black hole attack or packet dropper is a denial of service attack in which an intruder persuades...

Many recent applications deal with continues flows of data (data streams). One important area of applications that is based on data streams is the area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications. Since sensors have limited lifetime, the need for developing algorithms for aggregating sensors' data forms an important concern in the area of WSNs. We present W-LEACH, a data-stream aggregation algorithm...

Deployment of sensors and routing inside an irregular region is one of the most fundamental challenges of Wireless Sensor Networks. The performance of an effective and efficient sensor network is highly related to the proper configuration and design of the network and effective communication between the sensors deployed. In real scenario, the area that needs to cover, may suffer from natural geographical...
We present a solid study on the performance of a homological sensor network in partial sensing coverage, which means the network has at least one sensing coverage hole and we demonstrate that when sacrificing a little coverage the system lifetime can be prolonged significantly. In particular, we showed that when there is one sensing coverage hole (with a coverage rate of 97%) the system lifetime can...

Deciding the location of sensor to be deployed on a terrain with the consideration of different criteria...
There is a growing need for enabling reprogramming in a working sensor network. We prefer to meet the requirements remotely instead of collecting all deployed sensors. Identifying the version difference of data items, having the same key, could significantly reduce the communication overhead, because only those out-of-date items should be updated at each sensor. Previous protocols need to exchange...
This paper aims at improving the throughput of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs), particularly to overcome the so-called funneling effect for WSNs with converge-cast patterns. Due to the disproportionate larger number of packets accumulated in the sensors that are closer to the sink, there is a need to decrease the collisions and increase the throughput around the sink area as well as the nodes...
Intrusion detection in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is of significant importance in many applications to detect malicious or unexpected intruder(s). The intruder can be an enemy in a battlefield, or a unusual environmental change in a chemical industry etc. With uniform distribution, the detection probability is the same for any point in a WSN. However, some applications may require different degrees...
Wireless sensor networks had a big diffusion in the last few decades and they are used in many application domains.

Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require location information of the randomly deployed nodes. A common solution to the localization problem is to deploy a few special beacon nodes having location awareness, which help the ordinary nodes to localize. In this approach, non-beacon nodes estimate their locations using noisy distance measurements from three or more non-collinear beacons...
