Road Map and Future Trends

Conclusions  A holistic overview of the characterization parameters.  Help designers or researchers to have a complete insight about the possible application requirements or possible outcomes from a specific WSN application area.  Proposed classifications  Rather than the detailed classification from WSN applications, it provides a tool to understand mandatory requirements for WSN application area.

Other Surveys  Concerning the hardware aspects on different WSNs sensor nodes [2].  A classification organized according to the problems dealt by the MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols [3].  Survey addresses the evolution of WSN MAC protocols [4].  Routing protocols [5].
