Abstract

Wireless sensor network is composed of a collection of sensor nodes that sense the physical phenomena for further analysis purposes. ZigBee, WirelessHART, 6LoWPAN and ISA.100.11a are some of the wireless sensor network technologies that are presented throughout this chapter with the details of their network structure, protocol layers, key characteristics and application areas.
