Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a major role in revolutionizing the world by its sensing technology. WSNs has emerged as that powerful technology which has multiple applications such as such as military operations, surveillance system, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) etc. WSNs comprises of various sensor nodes, which captures the data from the surrounding alongside monitoring the external environment. Much of the research work is focused on making the sensor network operating with minimum consumption of energy, so that it can survive for longer duration. The primary concern in the direction of saving energy has been due to the Discharging of those batteries on which sensor nodes are operated. In addition to that, WSNs are also exploited for its security aspects so that it can be used in some confidential sectors like military battlefield. This paper, introduces the WSN in different aspects like applications, routing and data collection, security aspects and also briefs about simulation platform that can be used in WSNs. This paper contributes in a fashion about introducing the WSNs in different sectors of its operation and reflecting its significance.
