Wireless Sensor Network Platforms

Abstract: A wireless sensor network is a network made up of many tiny intercommunicating computers equipped with one or several sensors. Each tiny computer represents a node of the network. The nodes are self‐contained units typically consisting of a power supply with limited capacity, a radio transceiver, a microcontroller, and one or more sensors. This article gives an introduction to wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring, shows the general architecture of sensor nodes, and overviews current hardwa… Show more

“…As a result, this always necessitates WSN for SHM as a first attack line for monitoring behavior of the structural system in such a manner that an appropriate signal processing and extracting of damage features can be carried out effectively on the collected data. Therefore, enabling WSN for SHM requires sensor node to be able to provide basic functionality in the following: 36 (a) Data acquisition forms diverse sensors; (b) tentative storage of the measured data; (c) on-board data processing and analysis (signal processing and feature extraction) for diagnosis and in some cases actuation is needed; (d) self-monitoring (e.g. power supply, energy-harvesting devices, and wireless charging); (e) scheduling and execution tasks of the measurement; (f) receiving command from base station for reconfiguration (e.g.…”

“…Storage device stores additional energy and offers it later, when there is no energy can be harvested from the environment. We listed below some common scavenging sources which are used in WSNs [23] and the typical amount of power made by diverse energy sources is summarized in Table 4 [19].…”
