Overview of WSN Infrastructure Models, Design & Management

Abstract

Network management for Wireless Sensor Network Infrastructure is a challenging area where the management operation is to run on very minimal or zero cost. The network data packets routing costs more, hence managing this unstructured network improves the network efficiency and extend the network life time. The deployed sensor nodes have a fixed battery life and there are also some attempts made to manage this WSN network efficiently. In this paper we focus on different networking parameters used to measure efficiency, different network functionality and different design structure evolved in this area.
