6. What’s are Wireless Sensor Networks • Wireless networks are usually composed of small, low-cost devices that communicate wirelessly and have the capabilities of Processing, Sensing and Storing • The purpose is to measure different physical parameters in a given environment, in order to characterize its properties, or to take decisions depending on these measurements.
