• The topology of a sensor network may change frequently.<br />

• <strong>Sensor</strong> nodes mainly use broadcast communication paradigm.<br />

• <strong>Sensor</strong> nodes have limited power, computational capability <strong>and</strong> memory.<br />

• <strong>Sensor</strong> nodes may not have global identification.<br />

The emphasis on sensor in the term wireless sensor networks makes them very<br />

application-specific. The type <strong>and</strong> specification of sensors vary with applications, which<br />

also affect how a sensor network is deployed.<br />
