These networks consist of small battery–powered motors with limitedcomputation and radio communication capabilities. Each sensor in a sensor network consists ofthree subsystems: the sensor subsystem which senses the environment, the processing subsystemwhich performs local computations on the sensed data, and the communication subsystem whichis responsible for message exchanges with neighboring sensors. WSNs comprise tiny wirelesscomputers that sense, process, and communicate environmental stimuli, including
