Abstract

WSNs are vital in a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and healthcare. WSNs are a network of spatially scattered and dedicated sensors that monitor and record the physical conditions of the environment.Significant obstacles to WSN efficiency include the restricted power and processing capabilities of individual sensor nodes and the issues with remote and inaccessible deployment sites. By maximising power utilisation, enhancing network effectiveness, and ensuring adaptability and durability through dispersed and decentralised operation, this study suggests a comprehensive approach to dealing with these challenges. The suggested methodology involves data compression, aggregation, and energy-efficient protocol. Using these techniques, WSN lifetimes can be increased and overall performance can be improved. In this study we also provide methods to collect data generated by several nodes in the WSN and store it in a remote cloud such that it can be processed and analyzed whenever it is required.
