Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are distributed systems comprising a (possibly large) number of intelligent,
energetically self-sufficient sensors communicating by radio waves. With them, the vision of an “intelligent
environment” created by man could come true. The present contribution gives an overview of the
fundamental challenges to be overcome when wireless sensor networks are to be realized, of the state of the
art, and of current trends.
