Abstract
The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of sensor and vehicle infrastructure deployed either on land or in the sea over a selected acoustic field. Such networks are launched in the execution of joint tasks that include monitoring the environmental conditions and collecting measured data. WSNs operate based on an interactive communication among different nodes and ground stations, which provides for real-time data transmission and analysis. This research work gives a detailed study on the communication challenges faced by WSNs, with emphasis on signal interference, energy consumption, and data latency. It also summarizes the efforts of several researchers who contributed extensively toward optimizing WSN protocols, enhancing hardware designs, and increasing general network efficiency. Some in-depth discussions are also included on various architectures of WSNs and the techniques that can be used for detecting intruder nodes in such networks. Finally, a comprehensive list of the evaluation parameters is presented for comparing the performances of the different techniques and solutions proposed in the area.
