Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are employed in many application areas such as environmental monitoring and battlefield strategy planning. Mainly, wireless sensor networks(WSN) are application specific. However, protocol-specific requirements of WSN are same as traditional networks, but the solutions are different. Many existing WSN implementations do not address security requirements, routing algorithms, MAC etc. That is, a drawback of WSN network protocol. WNS sensor nodes are constrained by memory, bandwidth, and power requirements, which makes it difficult to deploy complex algorithms, perform bulky calculations, and store a large data set in any sensor node. In this paper, we will describe the architecture and protocols, generally used to provide a variety of services in WSN. The introduction is started with architecture and principles of wireless sensor networks. The next section describes protocol stack for WSNs. After that, there is a brief survey of various protocols categorize on the based on layers and services.
