tailieunhanh - Potential applications of linear wireless sensor networks: A survey

The paper begins by presenting a new classification for LWSN in network topology (linear sequential, linear parallel and grid) and in network hierarchy (flat architecture, multi-hop architecture and hierarchical architecture). Then, a detailed explanation for almost all potential applications of LWSN is given. The paper ends with a discussion on different open research areas that need to be studied and argued over by researchers in the future in order to complete our understanding of (and the benefits to be derived from) LWSN in various applications. | International Journal of Computer Networks and Communications Security VOL. 4, NO. 6, JUNE 2016, 183–200 Available online at: E-ISSN 2308-9830 (Online) / ISSN 2410-0595 (Print) Potential Applications of Linear Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey Chaudhary Muhammad Imran1, Maysoon Aldukhail2, Nora Almezeini3, Mohammed Alnuem4 1, 2, 3, 4 College of Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. ABSTRACT A Linear Wireless Sensor Network (LWSN) is a wireless sensor network where all nodes in at least one level of the network hierarchy are in a line. The architecture and protocols proposed for a general WSN may not be suitable for linear applications like monitoring pipelines and railways, and therefore we must present the applications needing Linear WSN and study the specific design requirements for it. This paper illustrates the importance of LWSN through applying various potential applications that use LWSN in order that they may benefit in terms of reduced time and cost of network deployment and maintenance, large scalability, and easy deployment of nodes in the network. The paper begins by presenting a new classification for LWSN in network topology (linear sequential, linear parallel and grid) and in network hierarchy (flat architecture, multi-hop architecture and hierarchical architecture). Then, a detailed explanation for almost all potential applications of LWSN is given. The paper ends with a discussion on different open research areas that need to be studied and argued over by researchers in the future in order to complete our understanding of (and the benefits to be derived from) LWSN in various applications. Keywords: Linear wireless sensor networks(LWSN), WSN, Potential Applications, Linear Sequential, Linear Parallel and Grid. 1 INTRODUCTION Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are gaining increased attention because of their suitability for an enormous range of applications. The importance of WSNs (that makes them so
