Event Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks: Survey and Challenges

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering book series (LNEE,volume 274)

Abstract

In typical wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensor nodes have limited resources such as battery power, computing capability and memory. Creating an event detection method comprising with those resource limitations is not an easy task and this sets several challenges. In this paper, we first describe challenges in event detection in WSNs. Then, we investigate the previous studies that have been done for solving those challenges.
