WSN protocols
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) protocols are rules and methods that enable sensors to communicate efficiently. These protocols manage how sensors discover each other, share data, and conserve energy to prolong their lifespan. They coordinate the data collection, transmission, and processing across numerous tiny, low-power devices scattered over an area, such as in environmental monitoring or smart homes. By organizing communication and reducing unnecessary data transfer, WSN protocols ensure reliable, energy-efficient operations, allowing the network to function effectively without human intervention.
