Abstract

Sensor networks are expected to play an essential role in the upcoming age of pervasive computing. WSN stands for Wireless Sensor Network. Wireless Sensor Network consists of thousands of self organizing, low-power, low cost wireless nodes and is used in variety of fields which includes military, healthcare, environmental, biological, home and other commercial applications. In this paper, different types of wireless sensor network topologies described in details. The characteristic of this is to divide WSN into network based on Topologies i.e. Bus, Tree, Star, Ring, Mesh. Information of the position of nodes, and those nodes are organized within the network by the Topological way.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), which is composed of several thousands of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing, actuating, and relaying the collected information. This paper presents an overview of the various wireless sensor network types and their applications, operations, topologies and advantages etc.
