Focusing on the significance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), this chapter explores their role in both civilian and military applications, highlighting their use in monitoring environmental conditions through tiny, autonomous sensor nodes. These nodes communicate wirelessly to relay data such as temperature and pollution levels to a base station. It addresses the challenges of energy consumption, as sensors often have non-replaceable batteries, emphasizing the need for energy-efficient protocols. Additionally, various applications like weather monitoring and battlefield surveillance are discussed.
