WSG, or Wireless Sensor Network, refers to a network of autonomous devices called sensors that are interconnected wirelessly to monitor physical or environmental conditions. These sensors are small, portable devices equipped with various sensors such as temperature, humidity, light, pressure sensors, etc. They have the ability to collect and transmit data in real-time, making them ideal for remote monitoring and data acquisition applications.
WSGs are typically deployed in large numbers across a geographical area to measure and monitor parameters such as temperature, humidity, air quality, noise levels, and more. The data collected by the sensors is then transmitted to a centralized base station or gateway, where it can be processed, analyzed, and used for further decision-making purposes.
One of the main advantages of WSGs is their ability to create a wireless and self-organizing network using ad-hoc communication protocols. This means that the sensors can automatically establish connections with nearby sensors and form a network without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure. This makes WSGs highly flexible and adaptable to a variety of applications and environments.
WSGs find applications in various fields, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, industrial automation, healthcare, and smart cities. They provide valuable insights into the condition of the physical world, enabling real-time monitoring, analysis, and control of different parameters, thus enhancing efficiency, safety, and overall productivity.
