Wireless sensor networks for industrial applications

Abstract

We provide an in-depth study of applying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to real-world industrial applications. Firstly, we present problem statement of industrial automation and design requirements and goals. Second, we describe a set of sample scenarios in industrial application. Then, a system design and implementation overview is developed that covers the network architecture, hardware, software, and some design and implementation issues. In the end, we give a lot of related work in this field and conclude.
